arlad dumps its core in /usr/arla/cache

In linux 2.0, getcwd() is not a syscall. In linux 2.1, it is, which is
used by the getcwd.so shared library.

Yes, this is a documented bug. Because of the design of the linux 2.0
VFS and the design of the linux xfs, getcwd() is not always
successful. This is partly due to the awful way of doing getcwd()
in generic unices.

Yes, this is a known bug.

Since loading of xfs.o is only done when arlad is loaded, autoloading
of the module has not been done. My personal feeling is that it will
only add more steps to the installation procedure.
