This is a "script"
#!/bin/cat
hello, world!
If this causes cat to segfault, the above script is not the thing containing
the bug, cat is. If I write a perl script that segfaults, perl is at fault.
The authors and maintainer of perl seem to agree with me, since every such
perl script I have submitted as a bug has been treated as a bug in perl and
fixed.
Your statement is unclear. I can agree that whatever binary is interpreting
the script is guilty of causing the segfault. If you're instead saying that
the _script_ is at fault, I must disagree.
