Re: shebang line drive me nuts.

hi Stut, I wish it was the line endings - I checked and they where unix-style. I do edit on windows normally (unless it's some rush fix and then I'll use vi or nano) but I have the line-endings set to unix. vi gave no sign of a ^M and I rewrote the shebang there just to be safe. alas no joy.
