} If you have a script called 'dog' whose first line is '#!/bin/sh '
} (i.e., has at least one space after the interpreter name), and
} the OS doesn't support #!, zsh will wind up calling execve with
} an argv of ("/bin/sh", "", "dog").

Thanks for pointing this out.  The same problem happens with a trailing
tab, so I think the following patch is better.  There was also no reason
for the old code wandereding all the way to t0 == ct clobbering newlines
once the first one was found.
