Can you verify that exchaning both shell binaries works?  Or is it
rather that swapping kernels was it?

Btw., Steve, i think exec'ing /bin/pwd is a heavy overhead that gains
nothing.  The shell should call getcwd(3).  That's basically what
pwd(1) actually does.  (I assume the reason why the shell wanted to be
`smarter' is that getcwd(3) used to be implemented in terms of calling
pwd(1) for quite many systems in the past.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
