Package: bash
Version: 2.05b-24
Severity: normal
The problem can be recreated thusly:
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir -p foo/bar
$ ln -s foo baz
$ cd baz
$
$ unset CDPATH
$ bash -c "cd bar" # OK
$ sh -c "cd bar" # OK
$
$ export CDPATH=/usr/src
$ bash -c "cd bar" # OK
$ sh -c "cd bar" # BAD
sh: line 1: cd: bar: No such file or directory
This problem affects anyone who is using the CDPATH feature of bash.
Perl and make, for example, invoke subshells as 'sh'. This bug has the
potential to break many things. An example would be "make menuconfig"
for the kernel (see 'cd include' in the Makefile) if /usr/src/linux
is a symlink.

Hi,
this issue does not seem to affect version 5.0-6 and later of bash. (The
tests have been run with `bash --posix` because the current `sh` is `dash`.)
Please reopen this bug if you can still reproduce this issue.
Regards,
