Description mark 2000-06-01 20:30:01 UTC 
	The example code uses ``$0'' in the generation of the filename.
	This fails because sh(1) returns a fully qualified pathname
	for ``$0'' in a script.

How-To-Repeat: 
	# cat > /usr/local/bin/foobar
	#!/bin/sh

	TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/$0.XXXXXX` || exit 1
	echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE
	^D
	# chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/foobar
	# rehash
	# foobar
	mktemp: mkstemp failed on /tmp//usr/local/bin/foobar.Za3487: No such file or directory
