Exception on startup if $PWD is deleted

$ iojs
node.js:771
    var cwd = process.cwd();
                      ^
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, uv_cwd
    at Error (native)
    at Function.startup.resolveArgv0 (node.js:771:23)

No idea what any of this means besides "no such file or directory"; hopefully you experienced Node/IO devs will know what this means.

What iojs version and what platform are you on?

Just downloaded it, so 1.5.1 and Mac OS X 10.10(.3) Yosemite.

Don't think it is a bug. This happens when cwd is removed

I think that just running iojs should give me the same output as iojs --help. Just my opinion though.

@vkurchatkin Removed?

steps to reproduce:

(from term 1)
$ mkdir somedir
$ cd somedir
(from term 2)
$ rmdir somedir
(from term 1)
$ iojs
node.js:771
    var cwd = process.cwd();
                      ^
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, uv_cwd
    at Error (native)
    at Function.startup.resolveArgv0 (node.js:771:23)
    at startup (node.js:46:13)
    at node.js:865:3

Isn't a bug, the folder was removed from another process and cwd doesn't exist as @vkurchatkin said

@matrixdevuk executing iojs will open the REPL not the help

Ah, running it again fixed it. Thanks guys.

I'm going to reopen this and take a look. Throwing an error seems like a bad user experience.
