Fox example, the current script is "/dir1/dir2/test.php"...

register_shutdown_function("shutDown");
$cwd = getcwd();
function shutDown()
{
	global $cwd;
	$fp = fopen("/dir1/dir2/temp.txt", "w");
	fwrite($fp, $cwd."\n".getcwd());
	fclose($fp);
}

Run it and view "temp.txt". You will find that the current working directory changes from "/dir1/dir2/" to "/". This was not the case in php 3.0.8, and I presume to be a bug.

Failed to reproduce it on current version. Could you please check version at snaps.php.net if this is still happening?

Yes, it is 4.03pl1.

Here is a link to my sample page with a phpinfo() call as well:

One more note, "/dir1" in my case happens to be a nfs mounted filesystem.

Reopen, if this still happens when using latest snapshot

It seems, that this Bug still exists. 
I'm Using 4.2.3 on Linux. 
And the shutdown function still changes to / 
 
I tested it, by mailing me the CWD in the shutdown function.

This is still found in PHP 5.3
