Ergo, this is an *experimental* release! I _purposefully_ crippled the working getcwd implementation to give the readdir fallback code more exposure (and to root out bugs in the coreutils fallback code). When cygwin 1.5.20 comes out, I will remove the cripple, and /bin/pwd will once again be a super-efficient call to getcwd. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
