Original question:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When running "/bin/sh" on Solaris 2.3 (on a SPARCclassic), users have
experienced the shell dying on simple commands such as cd or pwd.
One such sequence of events is:
pwd
(start process)
<ctrl>-c the process
cd /usr/somewhere
cd include
pwd ----- shell dies here, dumps core in directory ~/include
One common denominator seems to be that the directories being cd'd to are
symbolically linked to others.
