When PilotManager tells you "you don't have the right binary" all
it's REALLY saying is "I tried the binary you have and for some
reason it didn't work".  Testing pilot-link was a good idea on your
part...that's your real problem.  Are you sure /dev/cua3 is the right
port?  I've seen seg faults from using the wrong serial port in
the past.  You might coordinate with Ken Albanowski (kjahds@xxxxxxxxxx)
to fix this problem because once you fix this, you've fixed
PilotManager.
