Someone else would have to answer the "is this a feature" question. An
ugly work-around would be to pull the environmental variable
corresponding to the system's current working directory and start from
there. I only say it's ugly because you have to directly rely on an
environmental variable and just never like having to write code that
might not transfer cleanly if you change the machine that it's running on.

I can get the current working directory on my system with:
cwd = getenv('PWD')

Don't know if that helps or not.
