>Description:
SUSv3 states in 2.5.3 Shell Variables:
[...]
PWD
Set by the shell to be an absolute pathname of the current working
directory, containing no components of type symbolic link, no
components that are dot, and no components that are dot-dot when the
shell is initialized. If an application sets or unsets the value of
PWD, the behaviors of the cd and pwd utilities are unspecified."
>How-To-Repeat:
$ env -i /bin/sh -c set
PS1='$ '
OPTIND=1
PS2='> '
PPID=1747
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
IFS='
'
$
>Fix:
