[issue40492] -m cProfile -o f.pstats with a script that does chdir() writes to the changed directory and not `.`

I think it is worth to fix and it should be not difficult to fix. Either make the output file name absolute before executing the script, or open the output file before executing the script (what is easier). Unless I miss something.
