 For plug-ins, the working directory can vary for similar actions.
 `comment_post` can have a cwd of ''/'' (when a guest posts a comment to a
 post) while `delete_comment` can have a cwd of ''/wp-admin'' (when an
 administrator deletes a comment).

 I ran into this when trying to figure out why a file to which I was
 (over)writing from a plug-in wasn't changing for all hooks. It
 (embarrassingly) took me a while to realize the file was in two different
 locations, ''/'' and ''/wp-admin'', depending on the hook.

 Could Wordpress normalize the cwd to ''/'' or something similar for plug-
 ins? For example, change the working directory to ''/'' before firing
 plug-in hooks.

 Sorry if duplicate; my Trac search-fu isn't up to snuff.
