A Unicode byte order mark (which doesn't belong in UTF-8, since it has  
no concept of endianness).  This is why UTF-16 would cause problems,  
since the BOM precedes the shebang that tells the system how to  
execute the file.

Save it as ASCII or UTF-8 without BOM in TextWrangler and you should  
be all set.
