   Sure, it's normal.  sh accepts two arguments without complaint.

This is not because one sins that it becomes normal to sin.  Are you
kidding me?  In case not, (Chet is usually a serious guy :-), let me
attempt another phrasing:

	Should cd accept more than one argument without complaining?
	Would'nt it be better if bash complained when this happens?
