Bug Description

When ~/Documents/Extracted exists and I am in ~/Downloads which contains Example.zip, I run '7za e -o~/Documents/Extracted Example.zip'. The files are extracted into the a directory ~/Downloads/~/Documents/Extracted.

It does honor relative paths (ie. those beginning with ./ or ../). I expect it to use the absolute path or warn me if it cannot.

I am using p7zip-full 9.20 on Ubuntu 12.04.
