When invoking browse-url in a buffer where the default directory no
longer exists which happens quite often if you have long-running emacs
session, the following error is generated and browse-url aborts the
action.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Setting current directory" "no such file or directory" "/Users/leo/Desktop/untitled folder/")
  start-process("open http://paste.lisp.org/display/98663" nil "open" "http://paste.lisp.org/display/98663")
  browse-url-default-macosx-browser("http://paste.lisp.org/display/98663" nil)
  apply(browse-url-default-macosx-browser "http://paste.lisp.org/display/98663" nil)
  browse-url("http://paste.lisp.org/display/98663")

I wonder if it makes sense to make start-process more robust in this
case. Thanks.

Version: 24.1

This crops up in a few places. I have a vague memory that there is some
problem with/opposition to a general fix. Installed a fix for
browse-url.
