Try "what <filename>".
In my experiance, however, binarys (or anything else) that go to
lost+found usually have some trash in them, so their probably no good. Most
of the files that I find in lost+found are intermediate files from the
compiler, representing changes in the inode table that never got flushed to
disk.
