Agreed. I've been bitten by this too, and I've "fixed" it by explicitly listing "." in front of CDPATH: % echo $CDPATH .:/home/op/w:/usr/ports:/usr/ports/mystuff:/home/op/quicklisp/local-projects To be fair I've not checked how other shells handle CDPATH nor if something is specified by POSIX in this regard, but adding "." in front doesn't seem such a bad workaround.
