Do *NOT* do this in a multi-threaded application (such as Zope)!

  The current working directory is process global, shared by all
  threads.

  Think what fine things can happen when it is changed concurrently
  by different threads...

When you really need it, you must carefully use locks to prevent
concurrent modification.

But a better way is to prefix the needed path yourself to your
filenames.
