Ok, *smile*. You stated, that the OS is responsible for that mess
which comes up with commands, when in our example a directory has
been deleted; and you told me to try some of the utils in such a
case. I did that. And I found that on the machine I am currently
working on, the external programs could handle this in way which
(I express it carefully now) is correctly interpretable if one
uses the brain. Furthermore bash and its builtins like pwd were
producing at the same time results which can make you laughing
if you know what's going on.

So from what I saw on my machine I am more convinced than before
that in our case it is a bash matter and has nothing to do with
the capabilities of the OS. All those programs were compiled at
the same machine with the same linux files at hand. And if one
program can deal with a deleted directory fairly good and the
other one cannot, I blame the programs and not the OS.

Note, I am not saying I find such deleting actions of "active"
directories ok, and maybe one can/must blame the OS for that.
I only say that the OS is not to blame if other programs can
not deal with the mess which comes up then, because tests here
showed that a program *can* deal with that.
