Seems to be fine for the first chdir-call, but the first getcwd-call
still shows the CWD of the last PHP-script-run before, not the base
directory of the current PHP-script.

Description:
------------
IIS 6 with PHP 5 SAPI:

In some cases, the CWD of a PHP-script run is not properly reset to the
script's directory. Its instead the directory of another previously run
script.

chdir() with an absulote path fails in these cases if the desired path
is no child of the script's path itself, while chdir() with a relative
path to the same destination succeedes.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Script located in d:\webshare\web3

echo '<div>CWD is '.getcwd().'</div>';
chdir( 'd:\\webshare\\web3' );
echo '<div>CWD is '.getcwd().'</div>';
chdir( 'd:\\webshare\\web3\\test' );
echo '<div>CWD is '.getcwd().'</div>';

Expected result:
----------------
Script located in d:\webshare\web3

CWD is 'd:\webshare\web3'
CWD is 'd:\webshare\web3'
CWD is 'd:\webshare\web3\test'

Actual result:
--------------
Script located in d:\webshare\web3

CWD is 'd:\webshare\another\scripts\path'
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2)
in D:\webshare\web3\test.php on line 4
CWD is 'd:\webshare\another\scripts\path'
CWD is 'd:\webshare\web3\test'

-- or sometimes --

Script located in d:\webshare\web3

CWD is 'd:\webshare\another\scripts\path'
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No error (errno 0) in
D:\webshare\web3\test.php on line 4
CWD is 'd:\webshare\another\scripts\path'
CWD is 'd:\webshare\web3\test'
