I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I dislike the flurry
of `file not found' messages that are produced when CDPATH is non-null
and an attempt is made to change to a nonexistent directory.  The fix is
to delete the call to file_error at line 920 of builtins.c (bash-1.02).
I fixed the same behavior in versions 0.99 and 1.01.

P.S.  I have not mentioned machine/OS configurations, since this is not a
machine-dependent phenomenon.  It's evidently intentional.

I don't get a "flurry of file not found" messages.  I only get one.
Please send your environment, and a recipe with a bug report of this
type.  It would help, for example, to know what the value of CDPATH is,
and if you have "cd" aliased or written as a function, or are using the
simple builtin.

bfox@aurel$ CDPATH=.:/usr/gnu/src:/usr/gnu:/usr/bin:/usr/src/XV11R3
bfox@aurel$ cd goodfkldfk
goodfkldfk: No such file or directory
bfox@aurel$ CDPATH=/usr/gnu/src:/usr/gnu:/usr/bin:/usr/src/XV11R3:.
bfox@aurel$ cd sldflksdf
sldflksdf: No such file or directory
bfox@aurel$
