Dear Maintainer,

While running `checkbashisms.pl` against `/usr/bin/texi2pdf` from the
`texinfo` package I encountered an unexpected error. I have reduced
the situation to a minimal test case as follows:

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
 \
exec $0
$ checkbashisms.pl test.sh
script test.sh appears to be a shell wrapper; only checking the first 2 lines
error: test.sh: EOF reached while on line continuation.

I am reporting this issue from a non-debian system. If necessary I will
be happy to boot up a debian live environment to reproduce the issue there.

I apologize that the subject line on my report was lost. It should have
been "checkbashisms: line continuation check broken by `exec $0`"

I have reproduced the error on a debian-based system with the same minimal
test case.
