Thanks a lot.  As I understand it, $PWD and `pwd` don't produce the same
value on your system.  Is it right?

Getting the current work directory is surprisingly hard (maybe not that
surprising).  There's $PWD, the pwd shell builtin and the pwd executable
file (usually /bin/pwd or /usr/bin/pwd).  Sometimes they don't produce
consistent results when the current work directory is a symlink or the
path to it contains a symlink.  That's probably why this test breaks on
your system.

Does the path to the directory where you built and tested CHICKEN
contain a symlink?  What shell are you using?

Best wishes.
Mario
