That's a better idea.  It doesn't cover all cases, but it might cover
enough.  The cases I can think of are:

1) full path: currently will exhibit the described behaviour, using
argv[0] would fix it.
2) relative path: ditto, assuming ssh(1) doesn't chdir, which I don't
think it does.
3) no path, $PATH set and exported.  should work.
4) no path, $PATH set but not exported.  could potentially pick up a
different ssh.
