Kernel #! interpretation fails on Ultrix 4.3 if the first line of the
script (including the #!, the trailing newline, and any trailing white
space) is longer than 32 characters. Compiling up with execve.c seems
to solve the problem, or at least delay it until the line is 256
characters long.
Why, oh, why is this allowed to happen in the 1990s? Sorry, I forgot:
all versions of Unix come with /dev/timemachine to take the user back
to the 1970s.
