One more than minor difference between shell scripts starting with
the chars ": gork" and "#! /bin/sh" is that on older systems the
wrong shell will be started for the second case.

On this system (ki4pv, running xenix) the second form causes /bin/csh to
be used.  This is because the only test made is for the first char being
the '#' char.  This problem is common among older versions of eunuchs.
