We're on Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.  There is no startup.sh in 
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin.  I copied the startup file from 
/etc/init.d/tomcat6.  In that script it invokes /usr/sbin/tomcat6, which 
ultimately runs java with no intervening chdir:

/usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java 
-Djavax.sql.DataSource.Factory=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory 
-classpath 
:/usr/local/opal-tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/opal-tomcat6/bin/tomcat-juli.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-daemon.jar 
-Dcatalina.base=/usr/local/opal-tomcat6 
-Dcatalina.home=/usr/local/opal-tomcat6 -Djava.endorsed.dirs= 
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/local/opal-tomcat6/temp 
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/usr/local/opal-tomcat6/conf/logging.properties 
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager 
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
