Sure, but not as visibly as documented above. For example under sh $: cd c:/HoME/PiErRe $: /bin/pwd /c/HoME/Pierre I has a look at the code and it is the Windows path that is adjusted, not the Posix path. I think it was always like that. In the case of chdir, the change in the Posix path was a result of former transformations of the Windows path back to Posix form. Those can cause trouble when several Posix paths point to the same Windows path (the mapping Posix -- Windows is not bijective). In particular the final text/binary mode need not be as expected, and this caused complaints.
