It's very off topic for -stable. If you want to follow up on this,
please do so in -hackers.

It's trivial to create an example to test it yourself, don't ask when
you can do. :)

#!/bin/foo
echo yes

$ ./foo
bash: ./foo: /bin/foo: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

$ sh foo
yes

$ bash foo
yes


Now it's your turn. :)
