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.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
