This is not fixable, at least not by modifying the test script. On OpenBSD and at least Irix (probably on Solaris, too), getcwd(3) will always return an error when one or more parent directories aren't readable. For example: $ mkdir -p /tmp/foo/bar $ chmod 111 /tmp/foo $ cd /tmp/foo/bar $ /bin/pwd pwd: getcwd: Permission denied For an explanation, see the last paragraph of the getcwd rationale: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/getcwd.html#tag_03_215_08 The only way to fix this for real would be to let darcs work without having to know anything about the current working directory. I'm not sure wether it's worth the trouble. I also think that the setup mentioned in issue595 (non-readable /home) is just broken.
