Hi Ed - I thought you meant shorts that are done without borrowing the stock.

en.wikipedia.org

There should stock available to borrow.

I'm trying to think of why someone would do an unhedged short of BZP when it has considerable near term upside potential.

Maybe Finallythere is right, and they are preparing to do a big borrowing, maybe something that will carry them for a few years.
