working directory is always $HOME when using -x or -e

[Philippe]

I upgraded sakura from 3.4 to 3.6, and now the working directory when starting sakura with -x or -e is always $HOME, even if you specify -d.

Steps to reproduce:
- cd /usr/bin
- sakura -e 'sh -c "pwd && sleep 1"' -d $(pwd)

Obtained:
My home directory is printed

Expected:
"/usr/bin"
Also, I would expect it to be /usr/bin even if I hadn't specified -d, as it works without -e or -x

I have the same problem - except it's even worse for me - it changes sporadically between the intended path and $HOME. Tested with the following commandline:

# reproduce problem
cd /tmp
for _ in `seq 100`; do sakura -e 'bash -c "pwd >> /tmp/paaaath"'; done

# Show stats
sort /tmp/paaaath | uniq -c
     53 /home/dv
     49 /tmp

My version is also 3.6.0, via the official Archlinux package

I'm testing with the last version (3.8.0) and I cannot reproduce this problem.

Philippe: I've tested with your command, with and without -d, and the result is always /usr/bin

David: I've tested your script and the result I got is:
sort /tmp/paaaath |uniq -c
    100 /tmp

Could you both please check if this bug is still present? Thanks
