Summary: renaming 'current' dir causes error on File->Open attem

Initial Comment:
On Pd 0.40.2 vanilla, 0.41.4-vanilla, and 0.40.3-extended, renaming the directory that Pd thinks is the 'current' directory causes subsequent attempts to call up the Open dialog to fail with the following error:

bad directory "/Users/damian/2.current/rj/Track.rj"
bad directory "/Users/damian/2.current/rj/Track.rj"
    while executing
"tk_getOpenFile -defaultextension .pd  -filetypes { {{pd files} {.pd}} {{max files} {.pat}}}  -initialdir $pd_opendir"
    (procedure "menu_open" line 3)
    invoked from within
"menu_open"
    (procedure "pdtk_canvas_ctrlkey" line 33)
    invoked from within
"pdtk_canvas_ctrlkey .printout.text o 0"
    (command bound to event)

to reproduce the error:

1. open ~/thing/wossname.pd
2. close the patch.
3. mv ~/thing ~/otherthing
4. File->Open or Ctrl-O/Splodge-O

This works fine for me on Ubuntu/Hardy, someone the open panel magically
goes to the newly named folder.  I am guessing that ext3 now has some magic
to make this happen.  HFS+ does this kind of thing, AFAIK.

What platform did this happen for you?
