What is it that's not good about "/"? It doesn't have to be readable or
anything I don't think, just somewhere capable of a chdir(). Wouldn't
it be the only thing certain to work with chdir()? As I mentioned
before there's other places using "/" for the same purpose if there's
something wrong with it.
Either way what I missed from my first post was that a change to
default-directory ought to absolutize the given dir argument, so that
say
(get-free-disk-space ".")
gives info about the original default-directory, not the mangled one.
