We're not talking about the same thing. The scenario you presented --
removing the entire directory tree including the shell process's current
directory -- is not all that uncommon. The unlikely scenario I refer to
is somehow -- I'm not sure how -- removing a directory's parent without
removing the directory itself first, which is what the OP's first message
implied he managed to do. I don't see that scenario ever happening. It's
unlikely.
