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.
