redis get config dir will hang a client forever if the internal redis call to getcwd command fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of Redis you are using, in what kind of Operating System?
Seen on 2.2.8 and also on 2.9.0 on both CentOS 5.2 and MacOS. I expect it 
occurs on all linux variaties.

What is the problem you are experiencing?
Requesting config get dir via the redis-cli will hang the redis-cli forever if 
the cwd doesn't exist.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1) Create /var/tmp/foo
2) Configure redis.conf and set dir to /var/tmp/foo.
3) Launch the server with the configuration file.
4) rm -rf /var/tmp/foo
5) redis-cli config get dir (this command will hang forever)

Please provide any additional information below.
