osso xterm starts in root (/)
 
When I start osso xterm, the initial directory I'm dropped into is root (/). is this a problem with busybox's sh?

I don't have bash installed at the moment, but I don't remember having that problem with bash.

It might do that if /root does not exist, which is the usual default.

i have both a root directory (/root) and the User's home directory (/home/User).

in fact, if I `cd ~`, it takes me to /home/User, but when I start xterm, I'm immediately dropped into the root of the filesystem /.

never mind, upgraded to the latest version of osso-xterm and the problem went away.
