I was running random_abort against a failed database home directory and I'm getting a message that it cannot create a SAVE directory. The path is wrong. I haven't dug into what function call this message is coming from but it should be fixed. I have an absolute path to the database directory.

The home directory was in my home dir and I was in a <some_path>/build/test/csuite/random_abort directory of a WiredTiger tree to run a verify on the database:

[sue@kodkod-aws (1) random_abort]$ ./test_random_abort -h ~/10789.HOME -v -T 5
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘..//home/sue/10789.HOME.SAVE’: No such file or directory
Open database, run recovery and verify content
...

Definition of Done:

• The working directory can be specified using an absolute OR a relative path without errors.

EDIT: This issue affects random_abort, schema_abort and timestamp_abort.
