YMMV. for me and some of my colleagues it's not that minor at all.
my typical "work week" is to login on monday moring and logout
every friday evening. during this time I "collect" multiple
xterms with bash each having a directory stack of ~10-30+
and quite often 10++ backgound jobs (so I'm pretty shell based;)
loosing the whole context of such a shell is pretty annoying,
and with that / appended to every completion it's no fun anymore
to work with such a shell...
so for some of us this is real issue and one major reason
to roll out a new bash version on 200+ machines (10+ different plattforms)...
anyway, thanks for your help finding the correct place for this fix,
Harald Koenig
