Research direction

Start in index.js at line 124 and reproduce path.resolve("tmp", "..") in a browser environment. Determine the intended browser-safe behavior when cwd is undefined; done means this call no longer raises a process is not defined error in the browser.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When calling `path.resolve("tmp", ".."), this branch is triggered, causing an error in the browser (line 124 in index.js):

if (cwd === undefined)
  cwd = process.cwd();
path = cwd;

Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined

I think this error should be caught.
