As I wrote, this is under FreeMiNT and the real problem isn't the path 
returned by getcwd(), it's that the current working directory of my 
application isn't "/f/dir" as it should be but something else ("/dev/f/dir" 
maybe?). That's what I'm trying to figure out. What is the current working dir 
of my app. I'll see what GEMDOS has to offer.
