:Hi.
:
:If my cwd gets renamed by another process, it disappears out from under
:me.
:
:To reproduce:
:
:$ mkdir zzz1
:$ cd zzz1
:
:In another shell:
:
:$ mv zzz1 zzz2
:
:Back in the first shell:
:
:$ ls
:ls: .: No such file or directory
:$ cd ..
:cd: no such file or directory: ..

    That's a bug for sure.  I'll look into it.
