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
