Huh? Strace shows that sh fails when trying to stat /a. Does this,
perhaps, have something to do with bash switching to POSIX mode when

I don't know if 2-level forced directories would/should ever work. If /a

Here's something weird. I don't know whether this is a problem with the

$ /bin/mount -f -u c:/ /a/b
$ /bin/sh -c 'cd /a/b && /bin/ls | head -1'
sh: line 0: cd: /a/b: No such file or directory
$ /bin/bash -c 'cd /a/b && /bin/ls | head -1'
