in thread perl & UNC paths

To clarify, Windows processes do not have a single "current directory" like Unix processes. Instead, there is a "current drive" and for each drive, there is a "current directory" on that drive.

Your current drive cannot legally be a UNC share, and a UNC share has no current directory concept. (Though I think I've seen some error-handler circumstances where Windows has confused itself into a state that looks close.)
