But it is really ugly, but not as ugly as the solutions you mention. Indeed. If I could add a feature request wish for a future version of the kernel, I would like to see a variable somewhere that stores the current working directory on a per process basis. The best place to put such feature requests is into our bug tracking database. Please include a high-level description of what you're trying to do and how the feature would facilitate your product. <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/> These go directly to the engineers responsible. I get the impression that your design is predicated on patching the system call table? If so, I feel compelled to warn you that this is unlikely to be binary compatible with future releases of Mac OS X. If you base a product on this technology and ship that product to end users, you must be prepared to release updates as we update Mac OS X.
