work as expected when they have a "shebang line" of:
#!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*- -p
This specific line is recommended in some perl documentation, and I think
I've seen similar lines in documentation for ruby and python. Those
write-ups expect `sh' to ignore everything after the '--' if the first
thing after the '--' is a '#'. See chapter 19, "The Command-Line Interface"
in 3rd edition of "Programming Perl", for some discussion of why perl
recommends using this line in some circumstances.
The above line does work on solaris, irix and aix (as three data points),
and it used to work on FreeBSD by means of a similar patch to execve().
However, that change to execve() effected *all* shells (which caused
other problems), and that processing was recently removed.

- Document the fact that empty heading text suppresses the
heading line (e.g. 'ps -o pid='), as this is very useful
in scripts.
- Describe logname keyword more completely.
- Describe the printing of arguments more completely.
- Put lockname in the correct alphabetical order in the list
of all keywords.
- Correct sentence in standards section.

to exceed 10 megabytes in size (especially in X), bump the max
column width from 4 bytes to 5. This will make the ps auxw output
uniform again when a process's rss exceeds 10 megs.
It should be noted that when 5 digits becomes to small, other
solutions should be explored such as displaying them in megabytes
or having ps automatically re-size column widths.

consistent with the SUSPv2 specification (even though we do not
otherwise fully implement SUSPv2's ls(1) options), document this as it
is now, rather than trying to change the behaviour itself.

XXX from Tor: "The shell can also go into a similar loop if the child was
killed by signal 127, since the shell would believe the child to have
only stopped (WIFSTOPPED() macro returns nonzero value). Disallowing
signals 127 and 128 will fix that problem." See kern/19402 for details.
