OK, I'm starting to understand. I've experimented a bit, and when I
access the first app, getcwd() returns c:\windows\system32. However, I
then access the other app, and then when I go back to the first, the
working directory has changed to the root of the second app!

I don't yet understand why the second changes the working directory,
while the first doesn't....the only difference between them is that
the first uses require() while the second uses require_once().
