Bash Version: 4.0 Patch Level: 35 Release Status: release Description: `pwd` may return incorrect value, moreover, `pwd` output differs from /bin/pwd output. Repeat-By: da...@thinkpad ~ $ cd foo da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ touch foo-files da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ ls foo-files da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ mv ~/foo ~/bar da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ ls foo-files da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ echo $PWD /home/darkk/foo da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ pwd /home/darkk/foo da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ /bin/pwd /home/darkk/bar da...@thinkpad ~/foo $ cd . da...@thinkpad ~/bar $ echo $PWD /home/darkk/bar da...@thinkpad ~/bar $ pwd /home/darkk/bar da...@thinkpad ~/bar $ /bin/pwd /home/darkk/bar Strace of this bash session may be found at http://darkk.net.ru/tmp/bash-pwd-bug.strace.log Fix: This problem may be fixed if bash does not optimise number of getcwd() calls, but I'm not sure if the bug is really a _bug_, but not a sort of strange feature.
