Fedora? Solaris.

Exactly as predicted, your script works as intended as I run it myself, but shows the same problem as the one I complained about, once I suid it, and run it as an other user:

$ id
uid=54482(emagiro) gid=17465(ath)
$ /tmp/showfile
$0 /tmp/showfile
filename /tmp/showfile
__FILE__ /tmp/showfile
$ chmod u+s /tmp/showfile
$ ll /tmp/showfile
