8.0 beta CVS of 8/8/2004:

If a relative path is used for the -L option in initdb, the following fatal 
error happens:

./initdb -D ../data -L ../share/postgresql/
<snip>
creating system views ... ok
loading pg_description ... ERROR:  could not open file 
"../share/postgresql/postgres.description" for reading: No such file or 
directory
child process exited with exit code 1

Is this intentional?  The first dozen or so commands work fine with a relative 
path, and this executes fine with an absolute path for both -D and -L.

SuSE 9.1, GCC 3.3.3
