The Athena 9.1 release puts a pine.real in /usr/athena/bin (we have our
own wrapper script).  So if a user runs "athrun sipb pine" without
having the sipb locker first in their path, it will wind up exec'ing
/usr/athena/bin/pine.real instead of /mit/sipb/.../bin/pine.real.

So, any wrapper script should use an absolute path.
