That's a security fix.  Basically the client no longer trusts the server 
like it used to (a trojanned server or even a dodgy loginfo script could 
have written files pretty much anywhere on your machine before).  I'm 
actually surprised edit of an absolute path ever worked... it shouldn't 
have.

As far as I can tell that shouldn't happen... I'll take a look at it.
