 j@uriah 283% mkdir x
 j@uriah 284% chmod 777 x
 j@uriah 285% /bin/sh
 $ cd x
 $ pwd

 Apparently, it's not _that_ easy as you suggest. :-/
 
 If you've got any pointers on how to really reproduce it, get back
 with all your hints to Steve Price (steve@freebsd.org).
 
 
 Since this is a duplicate PR for bin/986 (and maybe yet another
 duplicate that has been submitted over time), i gonna close it again.
 As i indicated above, somebody is really dealing with it, but it seems
 to happen only under some rare and unknown circumstances, hence it's
 difficult.
