fix a bug in the kill-safe abstraction that is designed to protect

the state that online check syntax uses (indirectly via scribble)
to lookup documentation.

since the kill-safe abstraction moved some computation over to
another thread, the values of various parameters (current-directory
in this case) were not preserved. So when scribble then ended up
resolving a module path with the wrong current directory, this
bad value got cached. Then later, when check syntax tries to figure
out what file to open to jump to it, it got the cached bogus value
(even though current-directory was right when check syntax asked
for the filename).
