Hi Paul, The above change moved (and added to) the "#if HAVE_PARTLY_WORKING_GETCWD" block down past the code to handle "getcwd (NULL, 0)". When I build on Solaris 10, with gcc on either nfs or tmpfs file systems, the configure-time test does not define HAVE_PARTLY_WORKING_GETCWD. So, obviously, our config.h files are different; otherwise, your moving #if-0'd code wouldn't have had any effect. Why does your config.h define HAVE_PARTLY_WORKING_GETCWD when using Sun C 5.8?
