Just tried something similar on my system (though with tcsh and bash):

[karelj@wop21]~/flatflame> pwd
/mnt/flatflame
[karelj@wop21]~/flatflame> bash
bash-2.02$ pwd
/home/karelj/flatflame
bash-2.02$ 

~/flatflame is a symlink to /mnt/flatflame. It seems that tcsh's
pwd reports the 'shortest' path, while bash reports the path
how I came there...
