We know now what the bug is. MakeAbsPath _is_ placed in the correct
place in DepTable, but MakeAbsPath calls a function safer_cwd that
looks at the envionment variable PWD and CWD. So if you are running on
a shell/system/lib that does set, but not update PWD and CWD
MakeAbsPath will always use the same working dir and the absolute path
will be wrong.

We are thinking of a coupble of ways to fix this.

Can all of you that has experienced this glitch/bug tell what shell
and system you are running on?
