I've had a look at the code and I have searched back in the repository as
far as I could.
Both the windows and linux directory bif return look to work the same way.
If a directory is passed they attempt to change to it
If they fail they return a null string else they discover the current
directory and return it.
Although the code has been updated a few times since Feb 2007, the logic
there was the same then as now.
