Hi All,

I've just come across some very strange (to me at least) results with the cd
command in both bash and tcsh under cygwin (1.3.17-1).  I have cut and paste
from my shell as I feel it would be easier for you to read it yourself.

I don't have any aliases set.  The output is all from bash, but tcsh seemed
to do exactly the same thing.

I apologise if this is correct functionality, but the suse box I tried this
on complained bitterly at the lack of blah... etc existing.

Cheers,

Steve.
