Comment (by eschnett):
I would rather not apply this patch so shortly before the release. It would not receive widespread testing. Given that we use Simfactory also for remote access, for remote login, that there are trampolines, that we use Simfactory is used for running the test suite, that it is called from batch scripts to run simulations etc. all add to the complexity of getting paths correct.
It seems there is an easy work-around, namely modifying sourcebasedir in defs.local.ini.
Are there other instances of os.getcwd in the code that also need changing?
With sufficient testing I would change my mind.
