Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686
Version: 2.6.25-3
Severity: normal
When running script which has multiple arguments in the #! line the
arguments are joined into one. This breaks scripts that require multiple
arguments passed to the interpreter.
Attaching test interpreter (test.c, to be compiled with "gcc test.c -o
test.o"), and test script to be runned by the test interpreter (test.sh)
Observed output of the script:
./test|-a -b -c|./test.sh
Expected outout of the script:
./test|-a|-b|-c|./test.sh
The interpreter test prints all its arguments interleaved with |.
This also disallows passing any arguments to scripts invoked with env.
Thanks

Sorry for the long silence. This is a longstanding behavior and,
roughly speaking, by design. See [1] and the surrounding thread for
some context.
I actually wouldn't mind if someone raises this upstream again. I
don't think it's worth tracking in Debian, though, hence closing the
bug.
Thanks,
Jonathan
