Oh i have to apologize, i did not understand what you meant from the beginning

I've understood it in the way of /b 'losing' the cwd's of a/ or in other words, while command in /b is running, its pwd does not get updated from /a. Which apparently is normal behavior.


So now i understand the problem and yes, i'd say that is just buggy.
