[Ecls-list] Unicode and chdir

[Waldek Hebisch]

It seems that in Unicode-enabled ECL chdir changes Unix directory
to the filesystem root, even though different directory was requested.
For example:

$ (export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/a5/fricas/usrm/lib ;
/mnt/a5/fricas/usrm/bin/ecl )

This is CVS version, build using just '--enable-unicode' flag to
configure.  This is probably also present in 9.4.1 version --
I found this problem investigating FriCAS build failure and
the same failure occurs when using 9.4.1 and current CVS.
