Also, if the file has been edited on a Windows machine it can sometimes 
tack ^V^M characters on the end of each line, so #!/bin/sh becomes 
#!/bin/sh^V^M and as the ctrl-v/ctrl-m characters are special, and 
hidden by default on most editors, it can create a really hard to find 
problem.

The symptoms are it cant find the interpreter, even though to the naked 
eye, it seems correct.

Removing ctrl-v/ctrl-m characters is a simple regex, or alternatively 
look to google for the regex.

Chris.
