Sorry, I don't know offhand. I don't currently have access to the
affected machine but will try to get to it soon. It is Solaris 10
x86, patched to about a month ago. I built it with a local (ufs) file
system.
On Solaris 10, getcwd is a system call, and I suspect it's much better
in common practice to try the syscall than to jump immediately to our
own code, even if getcwd (NULL, 0) does not work as it does with
glibc.
In the meantime I've backed out the patch.
