| OK, now I understand the problem. I also see that the problem occurs
| even in absolute path names. For example, with /bin/ksh on Solaris 8:
|
| 33-sic $ ls -ld /tmp/usr/local/src/dummy-0.1/../../common
| drwxrwxr-x 3 eggert eggert 183 Jul 24 01:54
/tmp/usr/local/src/dummy-0.1/../../common
| 34-sic $ cd /tmp/usr/local/src/dummy-0.1/../../common
| /bin/ksh: /tmp/usr/local/src/dummy-0.1/../../common: not found
|
| What a botch!
It would be nice to document this one too...
