I have a CDPATH of UNIX-style directories:
.:/w//src/com/pipeline:/w/:/w//src:/w//docs:/w//src/html:/w//src/com/pipelin
e/ab
m:/w//src/com/pipeline/ad:/w//src/com/pipeline/addrbk:/w//src/com/pipeline/a
dmin
:/w//src/com/pipeline/aio:/w//src/com/pipeline/alert:/w//src/com/pipeline/ap
plic
ations:/w//src/com/pipeline/awt:/w//src/com/pipeline/bom
B20.1 must have recognized that w:/ is an absolute path while 1.1.4 doesn't
think so. And somehow "." in CDPATH triggers the problem.
Try this:
export CDPATH=/c:/d
cd d:/
<you should just see the command prompt>
then try:
export CDPATH=/c:/d:.
cd d:/
<you should see "d:" and then the command prompt on the next line>
The question is why does adding "." to CDPATH cause "d:/" to be interpreted
as a relative path?
