That sounds like you have a binfmt that accepts crap. Possibly ARM-specific, although more likely it's just a misc script.

Well, it wouldn't be trinity any more, it would likely be some execve script (think "/bin/sh", except likely through binfmt_misc).
Do you have anything in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc? I don't see anything else that would trigger it.
This doesn't really look anything like DaveJ's issue, but who knows..
