I don't know where `tramp-handle-executable-find' comes from.

The function `executable-find' is advised in some way, however I
couldn't find out what does it in Emacs 22 and emacs-w3m.  It
might be in your ~/.emacs file or in the other version of Tramp
which is not that of Emacs 22.  What do you get with the command
`C-h f executable-find RET'?
