I just recently updated my system to contain this and it has broken all
my /bin/sh shell scripts that use p4 which is highly annoying. Specifically,
I use the default freebsd layout of:
/home -> /usr/home
and
/home/jhb as my homedir in the password file. I also use tcsh as my login
shell. tcsh understands that it starts out in /home/jhb without issue, but
exec'ing sh rewrites $PWD which in turn confuses p4 since it uses $PWD to
figure out if a path is under the client path. Can we at least have an
option to turn this off?

Either that or I have to go hack all my scripts to rewrite $PWD. :(
