bash "cd" bug when pathname has 3+ periods

Wed Jul 9 15:47:00 GMT 1997

	In Bash 1.14.7(2) under Windows 95, the Bash command "cd"
exhibits incorrect behavior. This bug does not occur in bash compiled
for UNIX.
	Run "cd" with a pathname that does not exist, and whose last
component is 3 or more periods. Here are some examples:
	cd ...
	cd /....
	cd /foo/bar/.....
Bash will "cd" into the nonexistent directory. For example:
 $ pwd
 /
 $ cd ...
 $ pwd
 /...
I did not compile this bash -- I downloaded the binary from ftp.cygnus.com
today as part of USERTOOLS.EXE.
