I thought Noprianto's problem was the lack of a terminating zero after
"/bin"... didn't help, but I still think it's a bug waiting to byte.
Adding a call to sys_getcwd (__NR_ 183) (why is this man 3, not man 2
???) proves that, sure enough, it *does* work... but we change back on
exit... as you say...

Okay, how *would* we do that? I know! I'll check "asmutils"! Hmmm... no
chdir in asmutils... This is apparently harder than it looks!
Good Question!
Best,
Frank
