I just installed the latest version of Cygwin. I have a
strange problem with pwd -- instead of just showing the current
directory, it shows how I cd'd there, with '..' and stuff.
Here's an example, that I pasted from a bash session:
administrator@NDEV04C ~
$ pwd
/cygdrive/d/home/steve
administrator@NDEV04C ~
$ cd ..
administrator@NDEV04C ~/..
$ cd steve
administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve
$ cd ..
administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/..
$ cd steve
administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/../steve
$ cd ..
administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/../steve/..
$ cd steve
administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/../steve/../steve
$ pwd
/cygdrive/d/home/steve/../steve/../steve/../steve
administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/../steve/../steve
$
Curiously, this problem does not occur if I'm underneath the root ('/')
directory.
Any help would be appreciated!
