What the hell does it have to do with the kernel?  You've told shell
to open a text file, read it and interpret its contents line by line.
It had done as instructed.  Moreover, bash /tmp/createdfile would work
just as fine.  Neither of those would attempt to do execve() on the
file in question; you are just telling shell what to open and read.
