Forever changes current working directory when script path is absolute

See original GitHub issue

If I use:

forever start /opt/stagecoach/apps/example/deployments/2012-04-23-09-46-19/server.js

The current working directory is changed to / by forever before the script is run (verified with process.cwd()).

If I use:

forever start server.js

I do not see this problem, the current working directory is left alone.

I am not sure if the --sourceDir option is meant to help with this, but it does not appear to.

Thanks for an excellent process babysitter!
