Package: bash
Version: 2.01-5
This gives an error:
$ n=74; i=0; cd; while [ $i -lt $n ]; do mkdir Z; cd Z; i=$[$i+1]; done; bash
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories
However, decreasing n to 73 makes bash happy on my system. A strace
reveals trouble around some stat calls.
Giuliano.
