I have a small file manager that uses screen to open programs in new screen windows. It works correctly except when using screen on a directory mounted with sshfs or when using screen on a directory that is a symbolic link. If the program is started with 'screen program-name', and the current directory is a symbolic link to another directory opening a new screen window changes the pwd to the directory that is pointed to by the symbolic link instead of the symbolic link directory. If the program is started in the shell without screen and then opens a screen window the pwd is the symbolic link directory. A similar problem occurs when a directory is mounted with sshfs. If the program is started with 'screen program-name' screen will give a permission denied message when trying to open a new screen window. If the program is started in a shell without screen and trys to open a sshfs mounted directory in a screen window it works correctly.
I am not sure what is happening. I am guessing that the environ variable is not being set correctly. The screen command is passed with execve() and works correctly except in the previous two examples. Any ideas into what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
