In luafilesystem:lfs.c

/*
** This function returns the current directory
** If unable to get the current directory, it returns nil
**  and a string describing the error
*/
static int get_dir (lua_State *L) {
  char *path;
  if ((path = getcwd(NULL, 0)) == NULL) {
    lua_pushnil(L);
    lua_pushstring(L, getcwd_error);
    return 2;
  }
  else {
    lua_pushstring(L, path);
    free(path);
    return 1;
  }
}

"man getcwd" has a simple example, which fails if I change the 2nd
argument to 0 -- even using gcc SunOS seems to need a non-zero 2nd
argument to getcwd().

I see on SVN that you changed 0 to 500 -- should do the trick for now
and provide someone with little puzzle when pwd is 501 chars.

Thanks.
