How did you generate this error? Running:

  ./run_tests.py -k testserve_static_files test/test_cgi.py

  $PWD/run_tests.py -k testserve_static_files test/test_cgi.py

  $PWD/roundup/run_tests.py -k testserve_static_files roundup/test/test_cgi.py

and

  ./run_tests.py -k testserve_static_files $PWD/test/test_cgi.py

all work as expected for me. They generate paths relative to the
current working directory where the test directory is generated.

I expect the relative paths to be repeatable while an absolute path
would not repeatable (it would depend on the absolute location of the
directory where the test was run).
