Sorry. I really misread the patch. It looks like you actually fix this
case. I'm curious that you use a compiled-in constant string for the
build directory rather than calling os::getProcessName(). It seems the
latter would be more robust, (though only relevant in possibly rare
circumstances).

Sharing the code with the GUI isn't easy since the GUI is already using
some much QT-provided functionality in this code, (QString, QFileInfo,
etc.). So for now I'm not changing that code and not sharing. Let me
know what you'd like, (you can wait to see the patches if you'd like).
