bug#2631: get-free-disk-space when default-directory doesn't exist


From: Kevin Ryde
Subject: bug#2631: get-free-disk-space when default-directory doesn't exist
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 09:24:04 +1100
User-agent: Gnus/5.110011 (No Gnus v0.11) Emacs/22.2 (gnu/linux)

Evaluating

    (with-temp-buffer
      (setq default-directory "/no/such/dir")
      (get-free-disk-space "/tmp"))

gets an error

    (file-error "Setting current directory" "no such file or directory" 
"/no/such/dir")

where I hoped it wouldn't care about default-directory, only the given
directory argument.  Perhaps a let-bind per below.
