Dear ksh developers, there is obviously a fundamental bug in the Korn shell which prevents changing into the parent directory with "cd .." when the parent directory is the root directory [1].
Demonstration: $ echo $KSH_VERSION Version AJM 93u+ 2012-06-28 $ cd /etc $ pwd /etc $ cd .. $ pwd /etc $ Since users cannot rely on ksh's cd to change into the proper directory, this bug has to be considered serious. @Oliver and Jonathan: I can actually reproduce the issue with the version of ksh in unstable as well. However, I can reproduce it only when the parent directory is the root directory. Cheers, Adrian > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691200 -- .''`.
