nekral-guest 87bb724151 * libmisc/shell.c: Removed invalid code that executed the user's
shell as a shell script when the direct execution of the user's
	shell failed with ENOEXEC and the user's shell has a shebang. The
	interpreter might not be the right one.  Executing the user's
	shell with sh -c might be better, but I'm not sure we should try
	harder when there is a failure. Note: The removed code was only
	included #ifndef __linux__.
