The system: Sun Sparc Operating system: Solaris 2.4 or Solaris 2.5 ZSH-version 2.6-beta19, 3.0pre2, 3.0pre3 BUG: when option chaselinks is set and I run zsh on a host which has automounted homedirectories command 'pwd' does weird things (i.e. changes directory to some random directory that was first mounted using automount). I traced this to zgetcwd in compat.c, it tries to traverse filesystem backwards looking for the path it came from, but chdir("..") from a automounted directory is not same as chdir into the parent of that directory, so this traversal fails. Any suggestions other than turning chaselinks off? - Markku
