If someone is already invoking #!/bin/bash from a cgi, then they are
already doing it wrong (bash has massive bloat/overhead for a CGI script).

You sure you don't have *any* cgi's that do something like
system("mail -s 'cgi program xxyz hit fatal error' webadmin@localhost");
because all it takes is finding a way to force the fatal error while you
send a crafted User-Agent: header....

As Jim Popovitch said, bash usage is incredibly pervasive....
