Previously, the checking for unsafe references is not strict enough. It
only checks whether '/usr/' is in the script. As a result, any script
containing statements like below will match this check.
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
However, as we can see, this is actually not an unsafe reference. What
we really want to check is something like '/usr/bin/tail', so we should
make the checking stricter.
This patch solves the QA warning in gzip and nfs-utils.
