Hello everybody, why does rxvt-unicode abort when a relative path is
given to the -cd switch?
I tried to investigate on my own asking on irc and inspecting the log
from the github mirror (I'm not familiar with cvs, so maybe I missed
some informations) but I found nothing explaining the current behaviour.
The following patch is meant for better explaining what I was expecting
instead of what i found. Please keep in mind that I'm not familiar with
the code base, so I could have missed something important.
