We are running Eunice 4.1 on VMS 4.1.  My problem is that cd does
not work properly outside the shell.  The sympton is that the
directory changes but the disk doesn't.  E.g.

$ sho def
DUA0:[FRED]
$ cd dub0:[bill]
$ sho def
DUA0:[bill]

Further info:
1) inside the shell, cd works fine. (I assume the shell calls chdir directly.)
2) The cd distributed with the previous release of Eunice works fine on
our current system (we are using it now when outside the shell).

Question:  Is this a general problem, or have I got something installed wrong?
(I would like to determine which of these two categories my problem is in
before complaining.)

Other info:
3) The new release of uptime gives me an access violation when run outside
the shell.  It works fine inside the shell.  The previous version, when
run outside the shell, gives a message saying it needs relinking, then
runs correctly.
4) We execute the eunice login during VMS login (in the system login file.)
