Are you sure that you hadn't deleted and then recreated the vcoord directory (and not just its contents)? If you cded into vcoord and then rm-rf'ed it from another window, then you'd get the behavior you described. Basically, your pwd would effectively be a non-existent directory with no contents. When you cd out of it and then back in, you're really changing from a non-existent directory to one that exists. This is easy enough to recreate: $ cd /tmp $ mkdir foo $ cd foo $ touch bar $ touch baz $ touch qux In another shell: $ rm -rf /tmp/foo Back in the original shell: $ ls -la total 0 $ pwd /tmp/foo $ cd $PWD cd: no such file or directory: /tmp/foo -- Kirk Strauser
