chmod broke? Or perhaps ' ls -l ' is inaccurate here


While playing with the deleting the .exe suffix, I employed chmod 777
as illustrated to a file formerly known as input.exe, but now 
renamed to 'input.'  It executes, but ls -l reveals:

bash$ chmod -v 777 input.
mode of input. changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
bash$ ls -l
total 186
...
.... > stuff deleted <
-rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone   111586 May 29 21:12 input
....
...

So what gives here?  As I mentioned, the executable executes, but 
'ls -l' doesn't hint that it can.

hmmm?
