It uses node.js's __dirname.  I would have to dive into node.js
internals to figure that out...  I would think it does /proc/self/exe

Yes so I thought too, until I stumbled into this.  Then I saw that
the first patch only considers what files to run scandir on ... any
of those files can be symlinks and those are caught here.
