One simple solution is to disable with the X clipboard by sending
--without-xsel to configure. This means fish won't share the clipboard

That's weird. According to darcs, the last change to that file is from
2007-01-07, which is before the previos fish release...

Perhaps the output of apropos is what has changed?

Actually, it's a variation on a general bug. PWD might have the wrong
