A quirk which has occured to me already in 0.0 release still seems to

When you type 'pwd' - and this is some kind of saying 'ahem' with your
fingers - the system  responds with 'can't exec /bin/pwd'.
After that a subsequent ls makes you think you have an empty directory.

Only a ^C sends you back to 'normal life'. Anyone else observing this 
and possibly having a cure for this behaviour?
