When I start a new window in a tmux session the current directory in
that window's shell is set to whatever the current directory was when
I started my first tmux session (i.e. started the tmux server, I
assume).

This is weird and confusing (to me). I'd much prefer the screen
behaviour -- I.e. that each session has its own current directory and
new windows inherit their current dir from that (the sessions current
dir). I'd even prefer that $HOME always becomes the current dir in
*all* new windows above the current behaviour.

It's especially confusing when I start a new session, because the
*first* window of that session gets its current dir from wherever I am
when I start it. I.e.

    # pwd
    /home/zrajm/2010-02-09
    # tmux
    # pwd           # inside tmux
    /home/zrajm/2010-02-09

Now I open a new window, and in that I get

    # pwd
    /home/zrajm

(Where "/home/zrajm" is the directory I was in when I started my first
tmux session.)

/zrajm

P.S. I'd report my tmux version, but "tmux --version" just starts a
new session...
