Using an alias for cd to set the prompt to display the current path
breaks the cd command. I use in .ashrc:
PS3=$PS1
hostname=$(expr `cat /etc/hostname.file` : '\([^.]*\)')
cd() { ## shows current directory as prompt
command cd "$@"
PS1="$PS3$USER@$hostname:`pwd` > "
}
If you change the macro in shell.h to:
#define SYMLINKS 0
the correct behaviour is restored. Could you verify?
I think that the ash package needs the patch.
