We usually tend to split test into possitive and negative testcases
in order to avoid overly complex code. In this case the code looks clean
enough though.
I guess that if we wanted to have a separate test for possitive tests,
we would do something more interesting. Maybe something that does
chdir() and getcwd() in a loop for a while for a random path from a set
of paths, e.g. $TMPDIR, /, "..", "." and would expect the getcwd() to
match the new path after successful chdir() and remain unchanged after
failure. It would probably even more interesting to run chdir() and
getcwd() in a loop in several different threads, in such case we would
expect a valid return from getcwd(), i.e. any of the paths we pass to
chdir().

I guess that we can add /etc or something that is generally present on
the system.
