Subject:	cygwin1.dll [1.3.11(CVS)]: Interesting bug involving pwd and a non-exisitant directory
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
MIME-Version:	1.0

Hi,

My Version:
CYGWIN_ME-4.90 DRAGON 1.3.11(0.53/3/2) 2002-06-12 07:54 i686 unknown

*NOTE*: This was built from yesterday's sources prior to CGF's checkin of
the patches which broke the current cvs tree.

This is an easy bug to produce on WindowsME with Fat32:

1)Open an rxvt session (A)
2)Make a directory /usr/local/foo
3)type "cd /usr/local/foo"
4)Open another rxvt session (B)
5)In session B, type "rm -fR /usr/local/foo"
6)Close session B
7)In session A, type "cd .." and note the path presented by bash.
8)Typing "pwd" should reflect this as well.

Here is what I get:

root AT dragon /usr/local/foo/..
$ pwd        
/usr/local/foo/..

Basically, whatever directory you change into after the removal, pwd
appends to the value previously reported.  I can fix my PWD by issuing a
cd involving the root directory (i.e. "cd /usr").  Perhaps someone on NT 
might want to try this to see what happens...

Just thought I'd give you a heads up :-).

Cheers,
Nicholas
