Kernel 2.2.17 bug found
Quoted 16 lines · Andrea Pintori
I've a Debian dist, Kernel 2.2.17, no patches, all packages are stable.
here what I found:
[/tmp] mkdir old
[/tmp] chdir old
[/tmp/old] mv . ../new
[/tmp/old] (should be/tmp/new!!)
[/tmp/old] mkdir fff
error: cannot write...
[tmp/old] ls > fff
error: cannot write...
[/tmp/old] ls -la
total 0 (?)
[/tmp/old] cd ..
[/tmp] ls -la

Not a bug... possibly a typo though. The "[/tmp/old] mv . ../new" line destroys the definition of "current directory". The "mkdir fff" can't work since the current directory is no longer there, and is indicated by the lines:
[/tmp/old] ls -la
total 0 (?)
There is nothing to take a directory of.
