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

Sorry for the long silence.  This is a longstanding behavior and,
roughly speaking, by design.  See [1] and the surrounding thread for
some context.

I actually wouldn't mind if someone raises this upstream again.  I
don't think it's worth tracking in Debian, though, hence closing the
bug.

Thanks,
Jonathan
