It is polite for daemon to chdir, rather than relying on whatever directo=
ry=20
its parent was using.  It avoid problems where a system administrator can=
t=20
unmount a filesystem, or delete a directory, simply because it is 'in use=
' as=20
the daemon's current directory.

It also gives a predictable location for core dumps.

IMO the zeo server should do the same.
