Thanks for the suggestion.

Many UNIX daemons do so not to lock up certain parts of the file system (esp. if those
are network-mounted), and ours is just a port (so it inherits the behavior).

E.g. see 4.5 here: http://www.netzmafia.de/skripten/unix/linux-daemon-howto.html
or here: http://raphaelcruzeiro.com/blog/writing-a-daemon-for-unix-and-unix-like-systems/
"change it's working directory to the root, or any other directory that is guaranteed not to be on a filesystem that may eventually need to be unmounted"
