Ultrix 4.1 /bin/csh / awk bug?

Can someone tell me if this is a known bug (I'm quite sure you'll tell me if
I'm doing something stupid here)? It seems that either csh or awk is barfing
on the '#!' majik number. Here's my test awk script:
drivax> cat test.awk
#! /bin/awk
#
{
print "This is a test"
}
###
When I run it explicitly invoking awk, I get what you would expect (ie, nothing
- but it doesn't complain about anything either):
drivax> awk -f test.awk </dev/null
drivax>
But if I invoke it directly from the shell, I get:
drivax> ./test.awk
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
drivax>
Am I misunderstanding the operation of '#!'? Or is not not fully implemented
in 4.1 Ultrix?
