Re: Call for testing Cygwin snapshot

Here's the behavior I see in a dynamic view, under 5.94-5:

$ /bin/pwd
/cygdrive/l/Implementation
$ cd script@@/main/ 
$ pwd
/cygcrive/l/Implementation/script@@/main
$ /bin/pwd
/bin/pwd: couldn't find directory entry in `../..' with matching i-node
$

Bash has always used getcwd(), and it is only the experimental
5.94-[2-5] versions that use readdir().  If you stick with the
stable 5.94-1, which still uses getcwd(), or wait for cygwin-1.5.20
and coreutils-5.94-6, then you will not have the above problem when
using clearcase.
