    It is very likely that the problem which is being seen with this
    script is due to the change in parsing I committed on May 28th.
    Before the change, php would have been started up with:

                [0] -> /usr/local/bin/php
                [1] -> -n
                [2] -> -q
                [3] -> -dsafe_mode=0
                [4] -> -doutput_buffering=1
                [5] -> /usr/local/bin/name-of-script
             [6...] -> parameters specified by user

    and now php is being started with:

                [0] -> /usr/local/bin/php
                [1] -> -n -q -dsafe_mode=0 -doutput_buffering=1
                [2] -> /usr/local/bin/name-of-script
             [3...] -> parameters specified by user

    Assuming 'php' does not know what to do when all those options are
    glommed together in a single argument, then the above script would
    not work right on any other operating systems either. The change
    I made on the 28th gets FreeBSD to work more like other OS's when
    it comes to parsing that #!-line in scripts.

    Changes to /bin/sh would not fix this, because /bin/sh is not
    involved in this situation. But the change I'm thinking of for
    /usr/bin/env could be used to fix this, once I write up that change...
