 lib/libc/gen/getcwd.c:
 
     86          if (resolved == NULL) {
     87                  fres = resolved = malloc(MAXPATHLEN);
     88                  if (resolved == NULL)
     89                          return NULL;
     90          } else
     91                  fres = NULL;
 
 dhcpd does call realpath with resolved == NULL. I suppose if the malloc
 fails (why?), realpath would return NULL without setting errno.
