Ok, we now found the problem. The brain-dead Linux loader is unable to
pass multiple arguments on a shebang-line correctly, i.e. as multiple
arguments and not a single one. Under FreeBSD and Solaris this worked as
expected. Upgrade to openpkg 20020208 and the problem under Linux should
be gone. Thanks for the feedback.
