Bug report command "cd"

[Stephan van Ingen]

Hello,

I hope this is the correct way to report a bug (as explained
here<http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html>
).

*The version number of Bash*: 4.2.45(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
*The hardware and operating system*. Laptop System76 Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM
CPU @ 2.30GHz × 8 with Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtale)
*The compiler used to compile Bash*. *dunno* :/ but maybe enough
information by dependies shown in attached dpkg-pbash.txt
*A description of the bug behaviour*.
I can not change directory to a directory starting with two dashes

*A short script or ‘recipe’ which exercises the bug and may be used to
reproduce it*:
*See this command line log:*
