> Bottom line: I don't see any Emacs bug here. Of course there is an Emacs bug here. I am using `call-process` to start Emacs. On Mac the home directory is taken on other Unixes the current directory of the parent process is taken. Both GNU/Linux and macOS are Unixes, it is expected that Emacs behaves in the same way on both platforms with regards to handling the current directory. When Emacs is started via the command line or via forking from another process, Emacs should inherit the default directory from the parent process. If Emacs is started via some special finder or desktop application, the default directory of that finder application is taken. This is all predictable and expected. Daniel
