Subject:user.dir setting in JDK for Linux

Hi,

On my machine the System property "user.dir" has very strange values. I noticed this, because I started using `Ant' (http://jakarta.apache.org/) yesterday, and Ant relies on this property. I have packaged up a test case myself. It is very small and can be downloaded as http://www.znerd.demon.nl/SysProps.tgz. I have sent a bug report to Blackdown.

But then I tested the same test case with the Sun JDK, and it gave a different, but still erroneous result. And then I tried `our' :) FreeBSD pre-alpha JDK, and guess what? It worked OK! Weeehooo!

So either linux-emu has a bug, or both the Blackdown and Sun/Linux JDK's have a bug there.
