[Adam Spiers]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Visiting a fresh buffer and performing M-x sh-mode does not
automatically insert the magic #! line at the top of the script-to-be,
nor does it automatically make the file executable on saving, as I was
led to expect by the documentation in executable.el.  This seems to do
the trick, although it may be a bit over-simplistic.
