don't do this under 9term in plan9port:
@{cd /somewhere; tar c} | tar x
took me a while to figure out what was going on, as just catting
the output looked fine.

the explaination is missing; i'm assuming that you're running into this
magic:
fn cd { builtin cd $* && awd }
where awd outputs magic xterm escape codes. if that's what you're talking
about the quick solution is
@{ builtin cd /somewhere; tar c} | tar x
another way to work with this is to do this
fn awd { tty -s < /dev/fd/1 && builtin awd $* }
asswards combackability. ☺. i tried to convince russ that
9term needed a /dev/label analog but he didn't agree.
his point was that you still need xterm escape sequences,
since most distributions use them in their shell prompts.
