Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: "dirname: invalid option" when          *
  *                      sourcing setupClient.sh script          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When sourcing setupClient.sh, the script tries to set a
  directory variable using "dirname ${0}", but ${0}
  returns "-bash", the name of the shell, instead of the
  "setupClient.sh", the name of the shell script.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed setupClient.sh script to properly find the directory
  of setupClient.sh.
  
  This change will only be present in new installs, as
  bin/setupClient.sh is a "non-serviceable file" meaning
  the local file and any possible changes are preserved.
  
  For existing installs, the variable ´WAS_DIR´ can be
  explicitly overridden by the end user and future fixpacks will
  not replace the file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.4.  For more information, see
