The same 'bug' will also appear on Solaris 10; its
dirname does the same thing as GNU/Linux's dirname.

I'm afraid you're fighting an uphill battle here.
I'd fix the script rather than expecting
other implementations to match HP-UX's quirks.

I'm marking this as "done" since I don't expect
the GNU/Linux version to change.
