Here is a patch that fixes the problem with batch.  I only wrote it for
systems that have BSD4_2 or USG defined, since I don't know that a get
current directory function is available on other types.  This patch won't
hurt those systems, but they should be sure that the batch file name
given to batch is a full pathname (starts with a /).
