This breaks some systems using some scripts edited by nano.
Apologies if critical is wrong - I didn't want to use it but it fits
your definition ...

ii  nano           2.0.2-1etch1   free Pico clone with some new features

No error messages logged.

TO REPRODUCE:
Use nano to edit the script named before.  Edit as follows:

Insert one space as the first character of the file.
Delete that space.
Exit and save.

after just seems not to run.
