Update: This has been resolved. Okay passing this along, anyone who has @stirlock on Discord, ignore all messages from that account until now on Discord. He's been hacked with someone who will ask you to test a video game beta for ten or fifteen minutes and provide what looks like a Youtube link. Don't interact or anything with this link. Passing this on to get the word out that this is going around on Discord and he may not be the only account hacked doing this.

![A screenshot of some fairly hairy old C code, which I'll paste below for your benefit, but the gist in case you don't want to listen to the whole thing is: this spawns a subprocess to execute the external pwd binary, trying two paths just to be sure, and then captures its output into a buffer.
The code follows.
void
getwdir(char *s)
{
int i;
int pipdes[2];
pipe(pipdes);
if ((i = fork()) == 0) {
close(1);
dup(pipdes[1]);
execl("/bin/pwd", "pwd", 0);
execl("/usr/bin/pwd", "pwd", 0);
fprintf(stderr, "pwd failed!\n");
printf("/\n");
exit(1);
}
while (wait((int *)NULL) != -1)
;
read(pipdes[0], s, 50);
while(*s != '\n')
s++;
*s = '\0';
close(pipdes[0]);
close(pipdes[1]);
