  1. Open C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe
  2. Acknowledge warning in IDA and save .idb in writable folder (e.g. %temp%\notepad.idb)
  3. Note DIE fails to initialize

This is due to its use of os.getcwd(). (IDA sets its working directory to the input folder, at least on Windows.) It should instead write its config data to either the DIEDIR or perhaps storage it with the IDB via idautils.GetIdbDir().
