Works fine for me! In fact, by a clever trick (read "hack") Emacs
ensures that no matter who does what to its code, it always knows
what directory it's in. Y'see, what they did is replace the C
library chdir() routine with one that fiddles with the current
directory (as known in abspath.c) and then does a ``syscall (12,
...)'' (or whatever the chdir syscall number is).
And if you don't like that, you can always replace it with ``asm
("chmk $12");''! :-)
