Release Status: release

Description:
	I have a directory named Cisco\c2612 (I know, it's strange and won't stay 
with this
        name on my filesystem too long, but it comes from windows).
        Whenever I try to "cd" into it, my shell freezes.

Repeat-By:
        Easy to reproduce:

        mkdir Cisco\\c2612
        cd Cisco\\c2612

Fix:
        No known.
	I do not have time to parse the sources now. I just checked that it is 
reproductible.
        It does not show on directories like "foo\bar", ...
        It does not show with csh.
