dtrace discuss - Dec 2007 - another buglet in OSX dtrace? - cwd value

On Solaris 10, dtrace''s cwd yields a full path name:

  # dtrace -n ''syscall:::entry { printf("%s", cwd);
}''
    0   1685     pollsys:entry /
    0   1381       write:entry /data/homes/guest/rdm
  ...

On OSX, it yields just a directory name:

  # dtrace -n ''syscall:::entry { printf("%s", cwd);
}''
    0   17596       read:entry rdm
    0   17776     select:entry rdm
  ...

This makes it impossible to resolve relative path names,
etc.  It seems like a bug, so I reported it (as #5661392).

Is there a workaround, so I can get the full path name?
