Here is the answer I rec'd when I had the very same problem:



You're seeing a problem I encountered and reported a month or so ago.
The getenv function in the C RTL will try several things when called,
a couple of which are logical names and DCL symbols.  My guess is that you
have a DCL symbol called PWD that does a SHOW DEFAULT, right?  There's
some code in STARTUP.EL that does a getenv("PWD") to get the current
directory.  Guess what gets returned by the C RTL?  Right, "SHOW DEFAULT"!

At the end of this message you'll find a change to STARTUP.EL to fix it.
