Could you send the output of
$ alias
from both machines? I suspect the Debian Linux machine may have
aliased cd to something clever. OpenBSD does some crap like that
in /etc/ksh.kshrc, too.
Aliasing standard commands to themselves is Evil. It leads to
just these kinds of problems. /etc/ksh.kshrc is Evil in general.
