#! lines are not typically interpreted by the shell.  Behaviour between
systems varies: POSIX leaves the results explicitly unspecified when
you run a script that begins with these two characters.

The Linux program loader expects to find a newline in the first 128
bytes of the file (increased to 256 in recent versions), otherwise
you will get an ENOEXEC error from execve.

Cheers,
  Nick
