Hm, good catch. Yes, we can if the interpreter isn't found. I never  
intended to actually leave the "interpreter not found" ENOENT case in it's  
current shape, so it probably slipped through. Will fix inspect_failure  
here to guarantee silent_exec_failure is heeded. Patch 5/5 would probably  
remove it again.

Thanks.
