It's partly done in the *current* release, it's hopefully fully done in
the snapshots. The most important restriction in the current release is
that a chdir is implemented under the hood by calling SetCurrentDirectory,
which is not capable to chdir into a directory which you don't have
permissions for, even if you have backup rights. The reason is that
SetCurrentDirectory never tries to open a dir with backup intent.
The snapshots fix that by doing chdir on their own, never calling
SetCurrentDirectory.
