I tried /bin/pwd and pwd in a versioned directory

with the current snapshot or with the current stable version? Which test
exactly fails?
If you are using 5.94-5, then you are necessarily using a snapshot, and
/bin/pwd would fail inside the versioned directory because I compiled it
to use readdir() instead of getcwd(), and clearcase readdir() intentionally
fails to list buisiness@@ when listing its parent directory. But coreutils
5.94-1 (and the eventual 5.94-6) stick with getcwd(), so that you should
have no problems from inside a Clearcase versioned directory. And just
to be sure, I will repeat my tests when I am at work today and have
access to a clearcase drive, in case my claims about /bin/pwd were
not quite accurate after all.
No, sorry: I'm not using a snapshot. I thought you intended to say that
/bin/pwd would have failed also with the current version.
