Are you getting a bug ?
On which platform ? and with what kind of folder names ?

Thank you

That's proper shell practice to quote all paths in case they contain spaces.

That particular issue above causes the script to fail if any directory it's under contains a space:

$ p='/a/b c/d/e'

$ dirname $p
dirname: extra operand `c/d/e'
Try `dirname --help' for more information.

$ dirname "$p"
/a/b c/d

On which OS does it fail ?

I tested on Mac OS X it works.
I don't have Linux to test.

Did you try the example code I posted ?  Because then you would see..

The line should look like this:

"$(dirname -- "$0")/ApacheJMeter.jar"

Description of issue:
bin/jmeter should quote paths properly, like this: "`dirname "$0"`/ApacheJMeter.jar"

Thanks for report. Fixed.

The issue occur when you try to launch JMeter since another directory (not bin dir) and if jmeter script path have one or more spaces.

Example 
$ /tmp/directory\ with\ spaces/apache-jmeter-2.8/bin/jmeter
dirname: extra operand `with'
Try `dirname --help' for more information.
Unable to access jarfile /ApacheJMeter.jar


Fixed by adding a double couple of quotes :

java $ARGS $JVM_ARGS -jar "`dirname "$0"`/ApacheJMeter.jar" "$@"
