$ getcwdtest
len = 0, errno = 22, Invalid argument
len = 1, errno = 34, Result too large
len = 2, errno = 13, Permission denied
len = 19, errno = 0, No error: 0
$ mkdir testdir
$ cd testdir/
$ getcwdtest
len = 0, errno = 22, Invalid argument
len = 1, errno = 34, Result too large
len = 9, errno = 13, Permission denied
len = 27, errno = 0, No error: 0
But when run as root there is no permission denied errors. Filesystem is ZFS.
