Often, such software will look for an environment variable that says
where it's home is (e.g., ORACLE_HOME for Oracle). Maybe that's
defaulting to "."? Maybe try running "strings program | grep HOME" and
see if anything likely pops up... or even something like "strings
program | egrep '^[A-Z0-9_-][A-Z0-9_-]*$'" to try and get a list of any
environment variables it might be looking for.
Another possibility might be that the program expects to chroot
somewhere (or have it's startup script chroot somewhere on it's behalf).
In general, there's nothing wrong with putting "cd /path/to/product" at
the top of the init script, though.
