I get some really odd behavior with zsh running under XFS -- let me
illustrate:

aredridel@mizar:~/Fonts% cd
4293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926884293926aredridel@mizar:~% pwd
429392688/home/users/aredridel
aredridel@mizar:~% /bin/pwd
/home/users/aredridel
aredridel@mizar:~% pwd
429392688429392688/home/users/aredridel
aredridel@mizar:~%

Odd, no?  Any ideas?

It's just the combination of XFS and Zsh that you have this issue with?

Odd indeed.

For what it's worth, I've been running zsh with XFS for well over a
year now without any problems (in contrast to the nasty problems I had
before with reiser and NFS). 

I've always taken the development patch sets for the appropriate kernel
version. Are you using the release (which is meant for 2.4.19)? What
kernel version is this? I'd try a clean build. If you still have
problems, you'd do well to also ask on the SGI XFS list.

Hmm. I'm using 2.4.21, the PLD-linux stock kernel (which has about
n-teen patches to it).

I believe so.  It doesn't /always/ happen, so I haven't narrowed it
down, but if my pwd is in /home/storage (ext3) or / (ext3 again), no
problem.
