For chdir(), I agree that it should also change the drive.  This won't 
cause incompatibilities with DOS programs, because those will just change 
drive another time, which is harmless.

But how is all this applicable to mkdir()?  It should create a directory, 
period.  It shouldn't change directory or drive.  Or am I missing 
something?
