[minor bug] sab crashes when launched from within non-existing directory

When sabnzbd is started from the console from a deleted directory, the python command os.getcwd() throws an exception which isn't catched properly and causes sabnzbd to halt inproperly.

How to reproduce this error:

Code: Select all

> mkdir test
> cd test
> rm ../test
> sabnzbdplus &

The error displayed is the following:

Code: Select all

sh: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sabnzbdplus", line 1245, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/sabnzbdplus", line 661, in main
    org_dir = os.getcwd()
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Proposed solution:
catch the exception, display a warning and default the cwd to the home directory.
Or alternatively, halt the application in a nice way.

Thanks for the tip.
