in reply to Re^2: (OT) Fixing Line Endings - patch the shell
in thread (OT) Fixing Line Endings
Yes, there's no good excuse for the kernel failing to ignore what is clearly whitespace. Someone please fix Linux already. This bug has existed for way too long.
( And how come it seems that there aren't any Linux users that know that she-bang lines are handled by the kernel? I think that change even predates Linux so there never was a Linux where the shell had to do the #!-handling. How many decades does it take for people to catch on? :)
