Comment (by loic84):
@marfire I can relate to your story since this happened to me on a staging
server. I was quite grateful that my fabric task performed a `cd` to the
project folder and didn't execute `/srv/project/manage.py` from my user
directory!
The tricky part is that since [3f1c7b70537330435e2ec2fca9550f7b7fa4372e],
`STATIC_ROOT` isn't present in the `settings.py` shipped by the default
template, so it's a lot easier to forget setting it to a meaningful value,
which in turn exposes to this bug.
Hopefully we'll be able to release 1.6.2 soon enough so we can forget
about this bug.
