Hello,
I am facing a very strange problem with chdir and GetCurrentDirectory.
After calling chdir (), the call to GetCurrentDirectory () returns
wrong value. I tested this on Windows 7 and Windows 2016. It is
working fine on Windows 7 whereas wrong values are returned on Windows
2016. I guess we should see the same behavior on Windows 10 (client
version of Windows 2016) as well.

Has anyone noticed such behavior on Windows 10 or 2016? Any
suggestions, pointers?
Thanks,
