Eric,
Thanks for you responce. You're right, running '/bin/pwd' doesn't have this issue. The problem is specific to C shell. Bash and tcsh worked as expected.
Best regards,
Olga Garber

Hello,
When the parent directory name contains "{}" pwd fails to detect location.

For example:
address@hidden ~/tmp]$ cd /home/olgag/tmp/test\ bug\ address@hidden
#\$%^\&\*\(\)_+\|}\{\[]\ \":\?\>\</conserver-8.1.14
address@hidden conserver-8.1.14]$ pwd
Missing }.

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.
