This is the initialization of the file system and so is somewhat 
special, it basically needs the default directory so that it can compare 
it it to the working directory of the process. The syscall for the later 
give it to us in bytes. You are right that the absolute path check could 
be done with chars but I don't think it makes any difference unless 
there are wider changes to support multi-byte encodings.
