Not just sometimes. On the FreeBSD box I happen to do my email on, it's
/usr/bin/env. People who only deal with a few (or one) flavour of Unix
think portability is simple (just do it the way (my) Unix does it). I work
in Linux (RHEL4 clone), Solaris (9, 10), and Cygwin/Windows. *sigh* Oh, and
I forgot FreeBSD. And Mac OS X.

Pfui!
