Comment (by mthomas):

 I uploaded a small patch that changes sim_login from using
 {{{
 my $cmd = "cd $path && \$SHELL -l";
 }}}
 to


 {{{
 my $cmd = "cd $path || echo \"could not change to directory $path\";
 \$SHELL -l";
 }}}

 This makes it fail gracefully when it can't change to the correct
 directory. I can change it so it attempts to make the directory, but this
 seems better because I don't think it's right to attempt to make the path
 if sourcebasedir is wrong.
