It shouldn't work on any Unix/Linux. The sharp-bang syntax accept
a maximum of *single* argument (in your case it is the '-c').

This isn't a bug. It is needed to prevent an interesting security hole
(if arbitrary number of arguments were accepted) [... find the hole :-]

It means that something like:
    #! /bin/sh -ri
Will work, while:
    #! /bin/sh -r -i
Would run with the '-r' flag only.

Another issue is that some very old Unices (e.g: Sunos-4.x) sliently
truncated the string to 32 chars.
