	I'll fix this blunder in V1.3 to make that a null operand
	instead of a null string.  Until then folks with Suns & such
	will need to make that change manually.

	Something about BSDish systems needing to change this seems
	some sort of justice.  Or to put it another way, how many
	getcwd() calls have you BSD-based people had to change?
	We HP-UXers have to recode a fair number of getwd()'s.
