  Is this a glibc problem?  A quick test with tcsh shows that it doesn't exhibit
the bug, but bash (/bin/sh on this system) does:
palantir:~> cd /
palantir:/> pwd
/
palantir:/> cd etc
palantir:/etc> pwd
/etc
palantir:/etc> cd ../lib
palantir:/lib> pwd
/lib
palantir:/lib> cd
palantir:~> sh
sh-2.02$ cd /
sh-2.02$ pwd
/
sh-2.02$ cd etc
sh-2.02$ pwd
/etc
sh-2.02$ cd ../lib
sh-2.02$ pwd
//lib

  ash also seems to be immune:
bluegreen:~> ash
$ cd /
$ pwd
/
$ cd etc
$ pwd
/etc
$ cd ../lib
$ pwd
/lib

  So I suspect a problem with bash.  Maybe I'm just confused though :)
