Sorry about sending this again - the mailer seems to have truncated my
first attempt...
There appears to be a problem with paths of the form //x where 'x' happens
to be the drive for the root directory - //d in my case. Obviously this
is not a big problem since "cd /" works instead of "cd //d".
Using beta 16 on NT 3.51 (build 1057).
Has anyone else seen this?
| bash$ cd //c
| bash$ pwd
| /c
| bash$ cd //d
| bash$ pwd

| bash$ mkdir test
| bash$ cd test
| bash$ pwd
| ./test
| bash$ cd ..
| bash$ pwd
| .
| bash$ ls
| bash$ mount
| Device Directory Type Flags
| p: /home native no-mixed,text!=binary
| g: /g native no-mixed,text!=binary
| \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native no-mixed,text!=binary
| \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native no-mixed,text!=binary
| \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native no-mixed,text!=binary
| \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native no-mixed,text!=binary
| r: /cdrom native no-mixed,text!=binary
| c: /c native no-mixed,text!=binary
| d: / native no-mixed,text!=binary
| bash$
NOTES:
The "cd //d" does nothing if the current directory is a directory on the
same drive otherwise it changes the directory properly but "pwd" shows
a null current directory. If this happens then things start to get a
bit confused. (e.g. the "cd .." does not work.)
