A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If I create a "shebang" script where the filename contains a dash, I get a "bad file name" error when I run it. If I replace the dash in the filename with an underscore, either by renaming the script or by creating a symlink to the script and running the symlink, it works fine.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a file named "hello-world" containing the following:
----
#!/usr/bin/env java --source 25

void main() {
  IO.println("hello, world");
}
----

Make it executable:
----
$ chmod +x hello-world
----

Run it:
----
$ ./hello-world
----

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expected it to print "hello, world" and exit with a 0 exit status:
----
$ ./hello-world
hello, world
$ echo $?
0
----
ACTUAL -
Instead, it prints the following and exits with a nonzero exit status:
----
$ ./hello-world
./hello-world:3: error: bad file name: hello-world
void main() {
^
1 error
error: compilation failed
$ echo $?
1
----

By creating a symlink to the file with the dash replaced with an underscore and then running the symlink, it works fine:
----
$ ln -s hello-world hello_world
$ ./hello_world
hello, world
----
