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.

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
