But this one is easy to avoid. I really don't understand why this bug has gone on and on. What's the objection to "/"? As far as I can tell it's smaller, faster, and certain to work. (Faster especially if there's some nfs or ftpfs or similar involved where a system chdir may do some evil remote query.) > I'd like to make it work for Tramp dirs as well. Sounds good. Tramp holds open a session doesn't it, so at least there'd be no call-process to worry about for it. :)
