What does "file bin/xcrys" tell you about this binary (could be wrong
type of binary for your architecture, or the file got damaged somehow
so that it is not recognized as runnable any longer)

This one is a shell script, powered by /bin/sh (which could be a link
to a missing file instead of the more usual link to /bin/bash, ksh or
whatever)

Another possibility, if your home directory is nfs-mounted from a
central server, could be that the "noexec" flag was set on this mount.
(Check /etc/mtab in that case, and if you do see "noexec" check the
mount options in /etc/fstab)

Hope this helps
