Thanks for looking this up - very useful!

It seems there can be several kinds of trouble if the current directory
is per-process in a multi-threaded implementation. To that end, I would
vote to require a per-thread cwd parameter unless there are compelling
arguments otherwise.

Simple Scheme implementations tend to be single-threaded so the whole
issue can be sidestepped there.
