Bug in bind?

I know that by shunning great monuments of computer science such as
Windows 95, EMACS and X, and instead using quick hacks like Plan 9 we
make ourseleves social outcasts, but isn't having to mail to the list
from anon.penet.fi going a bit far?

Bug in bind?

[an175269]

Try the following:

term% cd /usr/someone/tmp
term% mkdir a b b/c
term% cd b/c
term% bind -a /usr/someone/tmp/b/c /usr/someone/tmp/a
term% pwd
pwd: failed to return to .

	Huh??

term% cd ..
term% pwd
/usr/someone/tmp
term% 

	More Huh??

This only happens with "bind -a", not "bind -b".  Where the last "cd .."
ends up depends on where it's bound; that is, it behaves as if it starts
at "tmp/a".

Is this a bug or a feature?
