Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
Tools in 2.28.0 now must start with a shebang #! line at least in Ubuntu 9.10
The shebang line must point to a shell. But...
#!/usr/bin/perl seems to be an exception to that.
There is no longer a procedure to simply pass files that don't start with #! to
a default shell.
That's understandable but it needs to be right up front as a significant change.
Somewhere a #! line needs to get converted to an execve kernel call. Is gedit
doing it?
Or is gedit passing the task off to a shell? If so is gedit passing arguments
in the #! line?
If I try to put a call to, say, curl in the #! line the arguments are not
handled well.
In transfering control to tcsh my .tcshrc is getting called as a remote
login which triggers a login message of my creation. That shouldn't be
happening when gedit opens a new shell. Gedit seems to be setting
environment variable $REMOTEHOST which is tested by my .tcshrc file.
Bash shows essentially the same characteristics.
