Hello, I just upgraded from bash-2.04-7a to bash-2.05-1. The built-in command "pwd" seems to be broken now for directories starting with "/cygdrive". Using mounted directories (e.g. "/usr/local/") or also the notation "//c" seems to work. Example: bash-2.05$ cd /cygdrive/c bash-2.05$ mkdir x bash-2.05$ cd x bash-2.05$ mkdir y bash-2.05$ cd y bash-2.05$ pwd /cygdrive/c/x/y <-- correct bash-2.05$ cd ../.. bash-2.05$ pwd /cygdrive/c/x/y/../.. <-- wrong (well, formally correct) bash-2.05$ cd x/y bash-2.05$ pwd /cygdrive/c/x/y/../../x/y <-- wrong Note that /usr/bin/pwd (GNU shutils 2.0) reports the correct path (continuation from example above): bash-2.05$ /usr/bin/pwd /cygdrive/c/x/y I don't have the time unfortunately now to look at the bash source myself. I hope that just pointing out the problem might be useful already, without a specific patch. Thanks, Ulrich Jakobus -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
