[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-9194) Groovy fails when a script starts with a #

------------------------------------

             Summary: Groovy fails when a script starts with a #
                 Key: GROOVY-9194
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9194
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: groovy-runtime
    Affects Versions: 2.4.17
            Reporter: Joseph Henry


An exception occurs in Groovy if the groovy file contains the character #.

This happens on linux systems where a script that starts with a # will result in an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal class name "" in class file 

simply doing this:

groovy /path/#myfile

will produce this error.

This is a regression caused by GROOVY-6641
