Bug#488665: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686: cannot pass multiple arguments in #! line

["Michal Suchanek" <michal.suchanek@ruk.cuni.cz>]

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
