execve bug

This is a bug which shows up in the NT port (based no 3.0.5).
It isn't in the NT-specific code, though, and I think would happen on
any system which doesn't support #!, so I'm sending it to zsh-workers
too.
If you have a script called 'dog' whose first line is '#!/bin/sh '
(i.e., has at least one space after the interpreter name), and
the OS doesn't support #!, zsh will wind up calling execve with
an argv of ("/bin/sh", "", "dog"). You get an error like
: : No such file or directory
or if you have multiple spaces,
: : Permission denied
Here's a patch to exec.c against 3.0.5 (or at least the version
in the zshsrc file for the NT distribution).
