You can get a lot of mileage out of the SVR4 'truss' utility when diagnosing weird system screwups. Run 'truss pwd' for a flavour of the output -- essentially it tracks all system calls across the process/kernel interface. Useful flags are '-p PID' to attach to a running process, '-f' to follow across a fork, and '-t ...' where ... is the subset of system calls you are interested in. My guess is that you've somehow created a circularity in the filesystem hierarchy such that repeatedly opening '..' doesn't ultimately lead back to '/', possibly by dubious use of 'ln'. Tony.
