Does this happen for you? Yes and no. PWD is present but points at e:/hackery/bash_emacs_confusion not at e:/hackery/bash_emacs_confusion/a (/hackery, /hackery/foo in your case). > Could this be a result of some local customizations, either in Emacs > or in Bash init files? I don't think so. I haven't configured emacs at all and I don't think I've configured bash. > > Actually I think I found a way to reproduce it.

Is this on DOS or on Windows? Windows 98. > Also, what version of Bash? 2.04.7(1)-release says $BASH_VERSION Right, MartinS
