Probably the natural consequence of shebang limitations and the "chicken and egg problem" of env(1) that isn't always in /usr/bin.

If only we could write #!sh to do a PATH lookup...

Thanks for finding the exact POSIX section describing its own failings!

On Gentoo (with the recent merged-usr profile), getconf PATH returns "/bin:/usr/bin", heh.
