>Description:
In sh on FreeBSD 6.2, a failed cd command updates the shell's
notion of the current directory as if the cd succeeded.

I tried this on a FreeBSD 4.3 system and the sh there did not
have this problem.  I'm not sure when the regression appeared.
>How-To-Repeat:
: freebsd6; cd /
: freebsd6; cd /tmp
: freebsd6; env | grep PWD
OLDPWD=/
PWD=/tmp
: freebsd6; pwd
/tmp
: freebsd6; cd /var/crash
cd: can't cd to /var/crash
: freebsd6; pwd
/var/crash                            <-- this is incorrect
: freebsd6; env | grep PWD
OLDPWD=/tmp
PWD=/var/crash
: freebsd6; /bin/pwd
/tmp                                  <-- /bin/pwd is correct
: freebsd6; echo $0
-sh
