That sounds interesting.  Is that code of yours laying around in some
public git repo?  If not: would you be willing to share it, maybe even
be interested in turning this into a getcwd function for the tapsets
shipped with systemtap?  (Assuming systemtap upstream is willing to
include such file if the license fits.)

Best,
