Not a big one, except that you might not even notice the failure if it
_were_ a shell script. ;-)

What one can see here is simply that execve() failed (the #! has
obviously not been interpreted correctly by the kernel, perhaps
imgact_shell has not been called?), so the invoking shell falls back
to `old-style' and tries to interpret the script itself.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
