The following reply was made to PR bin/104456; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Yar Tikhiy <yar@comp.chem.msu.su> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/104456: /bin/sh unable to enter deep directories Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 21:44:50 +0400 At the same time, csh has another silly limit, as do all shells that export $PWD.
