Non-existent working dir setting in REPL config kills IDEA on REPL startup

[favila]

On linux (ubuntu 14.10) using IDEA 14.1.3 and cursive 0.1.54.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a local, leinigen REPL configuration.
2. Set working directory to a directory known not to exist.
3. Save and run repl.

Expected:

Working directory error.

Actual:

IDEA becomes frozen and completely unresponsive, and must be killed from the outside.

That is definitely not the expected behaviour.

I should add: running openjdk-8. (I can try to replicate on other jdks if you need.)

+1. I was going to file a ticket about this but found this. I'm running MacOS and java 1.7.
