Look at the "open" and "exec" source code.
The "." is interpreted in the context of the current
directory for the current process for the lookup.
The answer is to know what "." means, in context. If
you don't have a current process from which to get a
pointer to the current directory vnode, then you will
need to make one up yourself.
