possible bug

[Alan Rogers]

Perhaps this is a feature, but it smells to me like a bug.  

Synopsis: Suppose that you have a subdirectory named xpt, where x is any 
character.  Then the command "cd opt" will first print the name of
that directory and then move you into it.  Here's an example:

rogers@rowan:~> mkdir apt
rogers@rowan:~> cd apt
rogers@rowan:~/apt> touch a b c
rogers@rowan:~/apt> ls
a  b  c
rogers@rowan:~/apt> cd
rogers@rowan:~> cd opt
apt
rogers@rowan:~/apt> ls
a  b  c
rogers@rowan:~/apt> rm -rf apt
rogers@rowan:~/apt> ls opt
ls: opt: No such file or directory

rogers@rowan:~/apt> bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (i386-suse-linux)
