I recently installed 2.2.5 on a few systems here at work.  I'm experiencing
some odd behavior when trying to compile programs that cd to another directory
and running a command there... I made a simple example:

Makefile:
all:
	(cd new_dir ; make all)


{kjm@toolbox.p2} 9:25AM:~/foo % ls
Makefile        new_dir/
{kjm@toolbox.p2} 9:25AM:~/foo % make all
(cd new_dir ; make all)
cd: can't cd to new_dir
*** Error code 2

Stop.
{kjm@toolbox.p2} 9:25AM:~/foo % 

Now, if I run this same command from another box in the exact same directory
(NFS mounted) it works fine:

{kjm@ns.p1} 9:26AM:~/foo % make all
(cd new_dir ; make all)
cc -O2 -o hello hello.c
{kjm@ns.p1} 9:26AM:~/foo % 

Permissions were checked and everything is fine.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not on this list so please reply directly to me, thanks.

Ken
