dear Gnu-genius(es);

 The Gnu-Emacs version I am running is 18.49.14

 When "cd" is entered in a shell buffer, emacs sets the default
directory to "track" the directory currently set by "cd". 

 However, if the OS (gnu, unix (yech,pew,ugh), whatever) returns
"permission denied", emacs still changes the default directory,
presumably since it has no way of knowing the "cd" was denied. 

 I realize this doesnt really constitute a bug, but I figured that the
elite "Team Gnu" would like to know about it. If you know about it,
fixed it, or don't care about it, disregard this letter. If there is a
fix, I would appreciate a message back.

 Long live GNU!
