Euphoria's current_dir() bug

Apparently current_dir() returns a different directory name
when using drag and drop for filenames, then when just
double clicking the exe filename without dropping a filename
onto the exe.

Double clicking the exw or bindw'd exe filename,
current_dir() returns the expected directory name.
Dragging a filename onto a bound exe (bindw)
causes the current_dir() name to always be c:\.

To demonstrate the problem,
bindw the following program:

include get.e

sequence currdir
atom i

currdir=current_dir()
printf(1,"%s\n",{currdir})

i=wait_key()

Then do the following:

1.  Run the exe program and note the result printed on the screen.
2.  Drag and drop a filename onto the exe program and
    note the new result printed to the screen.

Note that the results from (1) and (2) above are different.

Any ideas?
