Synopsis: /bin/sh doesn't strip comments on shebang line

State-Changed-From-To: closed->analyzed
State-Changed-By: gad
State-Changed-When: Tue Mar 1 23:50:34 GMT 2005
State-Changed-Why: 
A fix for the "doesn't strip comments" problem was committed in 2000,
but that caused trouble for other people (as documented in this PR).
A fix for those problems was made to kern/imgact_shell.c was committed
to 5.3-stable in late 2004, but that change broke the "strip-comments"
processing that perl expects.

See the thread on "Bug in #! processing - One More Time" in freebsd-arch
for more details.  I intend to fix this for real with another set of
changes, but those changes aren't going to be ready for 5.4-release.
