Maintainers:

In emacs 24.4 built for mac os x, if I invoke emacs from a command
line, it properly remembers the current directory.  However, if I launch
it from a shell script called from the command line, it forgets the
current directory and goes to the home directory. This happens even if
the --chdir option is used on the command line.

If the command 

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &

is launched from an interactive shell, all is well.  If it is launched
from an executable script ~/bin/ea

#!/bin/bash
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --chdir `pwd` --title "`basename $PWD` hosted `hostname`"  &

emacs ends up in the home directory.

I checked in a fix in the 24-branch such as --chdir will work in this case.
But the rest of 114730 stands, it fixes another bug.
