[Bug-stow] Can't use relative path as target directory

I installed stow 2.2.0 from here: https://launchpad.net/~dns/+archive/gnu in 
Ubuntu 12.04.

When I try to specify a relative target either with a .stowrc or with -t, I 
always get variations
of this error:

~/s/stow-files> stow --verbose=3 --target=../../testlab/stow 
--dir=$HOME/suckless/stow-files gnuplot
stow dir is /home/user/suckless/stow-files
stow dir path relative to target ../../testlab/stow is ../../../..
cwd now ../../testlab/stow
cwd restored to /home/user/suckless/stow-files
cwd now ../../testlab/stow
stow: ERROR: The stow directory ../../../.. does not contain package gnuplot 
(No such file or
directory)

Seems to me it can't handle relative paths as target, when I use an absolute 
path it works fine.
