Hmm. I seem to remember there were more last time you posted, though
I can't remember any of this week's patches that would have fixed
anything in your configuration. Oh well, good news is good news.

I think it comes straight out of argv[0]. We could break it into
pieces using sys$filescan and put the pieces back together using the
current default device (which might be a rooted logical), but that
would be an unsightly hack that could easily cause more breakage than
it solves. I'm not sure how best to handle this one.
