Comment(by doughera):
Fair enough. Testing the failure code path of cwd is good. The bizarre
strategy in the test seems to be a workaround for a Linux-specific
"feature". On OpenBSD and Solaris, at least, changing the permissions
(with chmod) is sufficient to get the getcwd() call to fail with EACCESS,
as you'd expect.
To be defensive, I think the test should probably only be tried on systems
where removing the current directory is known to be a valid operation.
That is, it should probably be something like 'skip unless Linux'.
Thanks for the research and explanation.
