the script finds the ID database in the current directory tree and then looks
up a token in the database. If current directory changed to a different tree,
the ID database is not seen by the script.
I think this is one of the examples when emacs is overdoing its stuff - it
should have no business changing user's current directory or at least allow
to configure this behavior.
