Patches from David Hedbor to handle missing current working directories.
"The attached patch makes PhysFS handle the case when the current
directory (as returned by getcwd()) has been deleted.
Fix 1, platform/unix.c:
Only retry getcwd if the error is ERANGE. Before it retried till the
malloc failed in the case of the directory not existing.
Fix 2: physfs.c:
If __PHYSFS_platformCurrentDir() return's NULL, use the root as the
base dir. Bad solution but the best I can think of (alternative :
use /tmp or Windows TEMP dir?)."
