Bug ID: 222212
Summary: csh/tcsh chdir into symlink does not honor logical
path
Product: Base System
Version: 11.1-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: cjb at ation.org
Recent builds of csh/tcsh have a bug where entering a symlink does not honor
the logical path. Instead, it adopts the physical path:
% cd /tmp
% ln -s /usr/local .
% cd local
% pwd
/usr/local
% cd ..
% pwd
/usr
Contrast this with sh:
$ cd /tmp
$ cd local
$ pwd
/tmp/local
$ cd ..
$ pwd
/tmp
This behavior started in the last 3-6 months I would guess.
