CWD I meant

Apparently an over simplistic approach: doesn't work, I still get an EBADF.

I tried in config.h:

#ifdef DIR_FD_MEMBER_NAME
# define DIR_TO_FD(Dir_p) ((Dir_p)->DIR_FD_MEMBER_NAME) 
#elif defined __TANDEM
# define DIR_TO_FD(Dir_p) (((Dir_p)->dd1) - 3)
#else 
# define DIR_TO_FD(Dir_p) -1 
#endif

Didn't work, unfortunately...
