The attached diff is a usage note for the Ant Exec task corresponding to a
mainframe
Linux user's experience. I spent sometime verifying his problem on the lists
and in email.
Possibly related a quirk of specific versions RedHat Linux/390, zsh, or the 390
JVM.
Perhaps not important enough to be added to the manual, but offered here if it
is
found interesting.

+<pre>
+#!/bin bash
+</pre>
