Alex Barker "Steps to reproduce: Share a folder to a Linux guest. Copy a dll file to the share folder. (I used the taskschd.dll to test) On the linux guest run `strip /path/to/mounted/share/taskschd.dll` and you get ""strip:./st9tAIQu: Protocol error"" Now to prove a point copy that dll to somewhere on the guest disk, `cp /path/to/mounted/share/taskschd.dll /tmp ; strip /tmp` and notice that there is no error. I have absolutely no idea why this only happens with dll files. I am able to strip shared object files without issue. I am also able to strip dll files on windows using mingw from shared folders with no issues. This happens with every dll I have tired. Both the guest and host OS are gentoo.
