Not all shells have this problem. I tried the Korn shell, "shV" sys V
shell in Xenix, and /bin/sh in a unix-pc. All return bad status when cd
fails. With the exception of ksh, there is no way to determine if the
bug has been fixed in my versions, or your is broken.
Hopefully someone can shed additional light on this.
