Subject: odd getcwd behavior

getcwd has started to misbehave since i installed -stable.  the
following illustrates:

[whitestar /]% lld usr
drwxr-xr-x  21 root     wheel         512 Feb  9 16:47 usr/
[whitestar /]% cd usr
[whitestar /usr]% sh
$ pwd
/usr
$ exit
[whitestar /usr]% lld local
drwxr-xr-x  22 root     wheel         512 Feb 26 18:54 local/
[whitestar /usr]% cd local
[whitestar /usr/local]% sh
sh: cannot determine working directory
$ pwd
pwd: getcwd() failed: Permission denied
$ 

the initial shell is zsh, which works fine, as does bash.  sh, csh, and
tcsh all suffer.  it only seems to affect the /usr/local partition,
which is particularily odd.  apologies if i've missed something
obvious.
