If you try to run a UTF-8 with BOM encoded script like

#!/usr/bin/env node

console.log("UTF8!");

it fails with

./test.js: 1: #!/usr/bin/env: not found
./test.js: 3: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

if run as executable script or

test.js:1
#!/usr/bin/env
 ^

node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

if given to node.
Scripts encoded in ANSI or UTF-8 without BOM work fine.
