The #! is required to be in the first two bytes of the file, so there
can't be any spaces before it. I wrote the code you guys are talking about,
although I had nothing to do with the commit in rev 1.21. I don't have an
opinion on that other than it's been this way in FreeBSD for a long time
and I share Ceri's concern that changing it will affect some people.
