Subject: Fix file pathing in daemon mode
X-Git-Tag: 0.0.1~147
X-Git-Url: https://mudpy.org/gitweb?p=mudpy.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=275b3f156a8ceb0ec50e5651cbcb8415269c7dd4;hp=947a707d32fe29eff85c7091b82be5c67056aecf

Fix file pathing in daemon mode

If run as a daemon, the working directory is reset to "/" for
safety. Make sure that relative file searching takes this into
account and prefixes with the original (pre-chdir) start directory
rather than the current working directory.
