Hello.

I found a problem in the getcwd() function in recent snapshot.

>$ cat getcwd.c
>#include <stdio.h>
>#include <string.h>
>#include <unistd.h>
>int
>main(void)
>{
>    char *cwd = getcwd(NULL, 256);
>    if (cwd == NULL)
>        fprintf(stderr, "null\n");
>    else {
>        fprintf(stderr, "[%s]\n", cwd);
>        free(cwd);
>    }
>    return 0;
>}

== Cygwin 1.3.3
>$ ./getcwd
>[/home/work/cygwin]

== 20011005 snapshot
>$ ./getcwd
>null

I think that a former movement is right.
