Nope, this never worked correctly, and, unless some really strange
things happen to UNIX, it's not likely to, either.
There's no way for one process to find out what another process's
working dir is set to. The (wd: /afs/.../.../...) and (wd now: ...)
messages are printed by the outer shell, based on what the working
directory was set to at the time of the fork() call which spawned the
job.
