Hi all,
I found a extrange behavior on bash in several machines:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd //
[EMAIL PROTECTED] // $ pwd
//
[EMAIL PROTECTED] // $ echo $PWD
//
[EMAIL PROTECTED] // $ /bin/pwd
/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] // $ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

This also happens on a 3.00.15, 3.1.14, 2.05b.0 on Linux and on 2.05b.0
on MacOSX.

I supose pwd it's a builtin command (as it's cd), so it just prints
$PWD. Is this a bug or a feature? I just found this because of a
misstyping, I'm asking this just for curiosity.

Thank you!
