Changes to ash in v1.19.x result in scripts not being directly executable if
they don't start with a line pointing to the desired shell (e.g., "#!/bin/sh"). 

There is a work-around in that these scripts can be executed if they are passed
to "sh" at the command line (e.g., "sh foo.sh"). However, ash should be able to
run such scripts directly if their executable flags are set - and it has been
able to do so until now, when one just gets a "not found" error.
