exactly as you say, the parent AND current folder has been removed, but
from a different shell. It's also reprodusable if you do something like
this from within the same shell:
mkdir -p ~/a/b
cd ~/a/b
rm -rf ~/a
cd ..
Can you see if that produces the same error? It sure does here.
Sure, of course it does. You're in an orphaned part of the file system;
the parent directory doesn't exist; there is no named path from the
current directory to the root; no value for PWD is correct.
Well, I no longer think there's a discussion left with this issue. I
believe we're all aware of why things happen the
way they do in this case. I found it amusing that the path returned from
the 'pwd' command was "/home/oddb/a/b/.."
after I had deleted both it's parent folder (and current folder).
Thanks for listening.
