Description

[Robert Wood [:rwood]]

Try to use the get_about_memory.py tool and specify a folder name using the '-dir' option, and there is an error:

rwood@ubuntu:~/B2G/tools$ python get_about_memory.py --no-gc-cc-log --no-dmd --dir about-memory-start
Got 5/5 files.
Pulled files into None.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: The specified folder name is created, but the .gz files are left in the pwd.
