Pidfile doesn't work with absolute paths

[duckythescientist]

Inputplug won't write a pidfile if the pidfile is an absolute path.

inputplug -p mypidfile1 -c true
# creates mypidfile1 in the current directory

inputplug -p $PWD/mypidfile2 -c true
# doesn't create a pidfile

I'm on Xubuntu 24.04, and I've tested both the 0.4.0 apt release and a build from the current main branch.

Thanks for reporting this.
I can also observe this issue, and I have no idea why this happens.
