I'm building an application into a pre-build bundle in the directory
/users/bbarnes/dim3. When running under XCode, getcwd returns
"/users/bbarnes/dim3". When running from the finder, it returns "/"!
It's possible this changed, but as I recall, this is a long-standing
issue for developers of GUI apps on Mac OS X. The environment while
"testing in an IDE" and "running live" can be quite different. Apps
should not depend on this, and instead, determine their own environment.
