Thanks for the report. However, this is not a bug in dirname, but in
your usage pattern. You are invoking "dirname -bash", which dirname
(rightly) interprets as the attempt to be the -b option, but dirname
does not have a -b option. You need to use -- to mark the end of
options and the start of arguments:
dirname -- "$0"

Wow, that's old. The latest stable version is 8.10.

Wow, that's even older, but same story.
