The following illustrates gnu-win32 b19 ash.exe bug where
the cd command does not work if a symbolic link is involved.
bash.exe-2.01$ ln -s / /i_am_a_symlink
bash.exe-2.01$ /bin/ash -c "cd /i_am_a_symlink/tmp; pwd"
/
bash.exe-2.01$ /bin/bash -c "cd /i_am_a_symlink/tmp; pwd"
/i_am_a_symlink/tmp
bash.exe-2.01$ rm /i_am_a_symlink
Note that /bin/ash.exe is what comes as sh.exe in cdk.tar.gz.
This is one reason why my /bin/sh is a copy of bash, i.e.,
bash.exe-2.01$ ls -l /bin
total 370
