exe process: what is this?

On two Fedora 8 systems, I've noticed a process running for which the
command is "exe".  But "locate exe" didn't return anything that fits (or
at least that I recognized as fitting).  And it doesn't seem to be in my
path or root's path.

For instance, ps -el  gave 
0 S   500  2760  2679  0  80   0 -  7874 -      ?        00:01:35 exe

and the relevant part of the output of ps -ejH is
 2556  2556  2556 ?        00:00:00   gdm-binary
 2635  2635  2556 ?        00:00:00     gdm-binary
 2639  2639  2639 tty7     00:01:24       X
 2679  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00       gnome-session
 2741  2741  2741 ?        00:00:00         ssh-agent
 2760  2679  2679 ?        00:01:35         exe
 2764  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00           gconf-helper
 2767  2679  2679 ?        00:00:15         gnome-panel
 2782  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00         bluetooth-apple
 2788  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00         nm-applet
 2789  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00         puplet
 2791  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00         python
 2795  2679  2679 ?        00:00:01         pam-panel-icon
 2798  2679  2679 ?        00:00:02           pam_timestamp_c
 5084  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00         fvwm
 5119  2679  2679 ?        00:00:00           FvwmBacker

I also did an lsof to see what files that process had open, and a lot of
them seem to have to do with sound, e.g., things
like /usr/bin/pulseaudio, /usr/lib/libsamplerate,  /usr/lib/libsndfile.so,
etc. (plus, of course, a lot of general stuff like libc, libm, libhal,
libusb,...).

So what is this exe and where is it located on the system?

Thanks,

  George
