Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
if you have a simlink pointing to a directory, chdir to that symlink
dir, and type something with '..',
you access the parent of real directory, not previous simlinked one.
it is not supposed to be like, may be dangerous in a shared environment.
i tested only (but not limited) with cd, cat, vi, chmod and chown; all
returning described results.
Repeat-By:
:/my/dir1/# ls -F /other/
dir2/
otherfile
:/my/dir1/# ln -s /other/dir2/
:/my/dir1/# ls -F
dir2@ -> /other/dir2/
myfile
:/my/dir1/# cd dir2
:/my/dir1/dir2/# ls -F ..
dir2/
otherfile
