It's actually the kernel that interprets that line, not bash. The historical behavior is that space separates the interpreter from an optional argument, and there is no escape mechanism, so there's no way to specify an interpreter with a space in the path. It's unlikely that this would ever change, since that would break existing scripts that rely on thecurrent behavior. paul
