First let me thank David Friedman for the AIX port of gdc.

I have encountered a minor problem in the phobos library on AIX. AIX doesn't allow the size  parameter to be 0 for getcwd, it returns an EINVAL error.

Currently file.d contains the line
	
	p = unix.getcwd(null, 0);

For my own needs I have just hacked this to replace 0 by 1024,  but it probably should be a loop (pardon my limited D)

  for (bsz = 1024; (p = unix.getcwd(0, bsz)) == null; bsz += 1024) {
    if (getErrno() != ERANGE)
      break;
  }

I believe that this will leak in the unlikely situation where the current path is > 1024.

for (....) {
 if (...)
    break;
 free(p);
}
