I just recently updated my system to contain this and it has broken all 
my /bin/sh shell scripts that use p4 which is highly annoying.  Specifically, 
I use the default freebsd layout of:

/home -> /usr/home

and

/home/jhb as my homedir in the password file.  I also use tcsh as my login 
shell.  tcsh understands that it starts out in /home/jhb without issue, but 
exec'ing sh rewrites $PWD which in turn confuses p4 since it uses $PWD to 
figure out if a path is under the client path.  Can we at least have an 
option to turn this off?
                                                                                
[14:18:58] (ttyp7) jhb at mutex:~
> echo $PWD
/home/jhb

$ echo $PWD
/usr/home/jhb
$

Either that or I have to go hack all my scripts to rewrite $PWD. :(
