Historically, -m added the empty string as sys.path zero, meaning it resolved imports against the current working directory, the same way -c and the interactive prompt do. This changes the sys.path initialisation to add the *starting* working directory as sys.path[0] instead, such that changes to the working directory while the program is running will have no effect on imports when using the -m switch. (cherry picked from commit d5d9e02)
