Thanks for the report. However, because you used 'pwd' instead
of '/bin/pwd', you probably got your shell's builtin version instead
of the coreutils executable. Coreutils does not have this bug, so I
recommend reporting it to the shell's bug list instead. To prove
whether it was your shell, see if 'pwd --version' is recognized;
coreutils' pwd will respond with a version number instead of
an error message.
