Hi Dave,

I made some more tests and I've found the root cause: in fact

/bin/sh -c "cd <directory>"

will not work for a directory in $pwd unless it has a leading "./"

Only bash - when disguised as sh - has this issue, ash for example
does not behave like this.

Do you have an idea how to bypass this?

Ciao and thanks
