Re: [PATCH] New option to get cwd of new windows from active window
Thanks for this. The OpenBSD kernel bits are in so I've applied your
diff with some minor tweaks and the required bits for osdep-openbsd.c.
Anyone wants to do AIX, Darwin, DFLY, HP/UX, or NetBSD send the code
:-).

Re: set-titles not working

Did "vi foo" from it, then exited, and logged out. I think I see in tmux-out-10358.log that it did try to write the title, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if it is doing so correctly or why it didn't work.
