unset CDPATH

Hi there,

I've just compiled fileutils-4.1 on my Linux system. A couple of the
tests were failing, and giving heaps of output (same-f and cpmvback I
think, in 'cp'). 

I tracked it down to a very simple problem though - in bash, 'cd'
echoes the directory name if CDPATH is set and you execute a cd where
it has to check the CDPATH. The test files were full of echoed
directory names. 

Clearly all that needs to be done is to 'unset CDPATH' before
performing the tests.

Thanks,

Patrick Jordan.
