Actually unix will let you delete a directory that is in use. Harley

No, it will not.

Hahn once described this as sawing off the branch you are sitting on.

Eg:

$mkdir /tmp/foo
$cd /tmp/foo
$rmdir /tmp/foo
$pwd
/tmp/foo
$ls -a
$cd
$cd /tmp/foo
bash: cd: /tmp/foo: No such file or directory

The cwd has nothing to do with the OS, it is purely a way to instruct
the shell how to do globbing.
