Subject:	cygrunsrv --chdir bug

Hi,
cygrunsrv doesn't behave like --help says:

$ cygrunsrv -I AAAservice -p /bin/bash -a "any_arguments"

This is OK. It sets "AppArgs" value in registry to "any_arguments".
Let's remove the "AAAservice" service

$ cygrunsrv -R AAAservice

and try the same like above but with working directory specified

$ cygrunsrv -I AAAservice -p /bin/bash -a "any_arguments" -c /

option -c (or --chdir) sets the registry value "AppArgs" to "/" and
the value specified after --args option is lost!

Pavel Kudrna.
