axutil_dir_handler_list_service_or_module_dirs using chdir is not thread-safe

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In file axis2c-unofficial\util\src\dir_handler.c function 
axutil_dir_handler_list_service_or_module_dirs
is using "chdir" function, so axutil_dir_handler_list_service_or_module_dirs is 
not thread-safe 
and cannot be use in multithread applications.

This function is used on startup only and never seems to be called when server 
is started.

What issue you faced exactly?

Several clients (in different threads) in one program to proccess multiple 
request to other services.
In my case I have web-service and several clients.

You're right, on client side it could cause to Axis2/C can't find some module.

Chdir can't be excluded in case of using archive-based deployment -- need to 
rewrite too much code.

When you don't use archive-based deployment this fix should solve the problem.
