It is actually kind of funny that it ever worked the other way (and that it still does in "other shells") - given that it is the same error internally. I.e., at the C level: chdir("/NoSuchDir"); and chdir(""); generate the same error condition. I wonder why "" was previously special-cased. ================================================================================= Please do not send me replies to my posts on the list. I always read the replies via the web archive, so CC'ing to me is unnecessary. Note that they always end up in my Spam file anyway, so it is annoying to have to periodically clean that out.
