I'd expect that the CR would be treated as an extra white-space
character at the end of each line.  And indeed, this seems to work for
me on all but the initial #! line.  This fails (at least on Linux)
because the exec() call can't find an interpreter named "/bin/bash\r".

I'd be interested in what OS you're using and what error message you
get.
