yes - what any exe gets passed as CWD when you launch it by clicking
varies from OS to OS - and on unix machines it actually varies with
window manager, too.
So, you can't assume you know what CWD is, or that CWD points to the
location of the exe (it actually does on win32 systems, for
historical reasons, but rarely on other OS.)
Exe's launched from a shell will generally be passed the CWD of the
parent shell, which is obviously rather more predictable!
This comes up fairly often in the group, erm, searching.... try this
