        These two were identical before:

        #!/usr/local/bin/php -n -q -dsafe_mode=0 -doutput_buffering=1
        % /usr/local/bin/php -n -q -dsafe_mode=0 -doutput_buffering=1

        These two are identical now:

        #!/usr/local/bin/php -n -q -dsafe_mode=0 -doutput_buffering=1
        % /usr/local/bin/php "-n -q -dsafe_mode=0 -doutput_buffering=1"

        Obviously, "correct" is whatever behavior we declare as such.
        But is the latter actually useful? The Linux distros you shown
        hacking around the shebang parsing limitations (forking another
        shell to achieve the correct parsing) shows just that: Linux distros
        basically avoiding anything above the simplest "#!/bin/sh".
