Comment 1 Derek Miller 2006-07-26 13:58:27 UTC 
The actual directory used during the test was the "cd" directory which is set up
in the auto.misc file.
Comment 2 Jim Meyering 2006-07-26 14:19:50 UTC 
This may be the bug that I fixed here: http://bugs.debian.org/375333
Can you try that patch and see if it solves your problem?
Or else, can you provide precise instructions for reproducing the bug?
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2006-07-26 15:00:28 UTC 
Derek: please state the version and release number of the coreutils RPM you are
using (the output of 'rpm -q coreutils').  Thanks.
Comment 4 Florian La Roche 2007-03-08 15:55:58 UTC 
Closing this out, please reopen if this is still happening with the current
rpm packages.

Thanks,

Florian La Roche
