Presumably command.com / cmd.exe compensate for this behaviour. Linux programs are designed to load from a completely different directory (i.e. one on the search path) than your current working directory, so this isn't a problem for them and a Linux shell doesn't need to do anything apart from finding and starting the executable. > I'm freshly using wine 1.3.16 since yesterday, but i actually don't > know whether it worked before > Its always been a gotcha for programs that need to read stuff out of the directory they were loaded from.
