bash: '..' retained in cwd


When I cd with a relative path involving .., I find that sometimes the ../
does not get reduced in the current working directory string. This appears
to be limited to bash, and to one particular mount: /home/zeil

Example (my input occurs after each '>'):
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java> cd ../c++
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java/../c++> cd ../java
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java/../c++/../java> pwd
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java/../c++/../java
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java/../c++/../java>

Switching to sh:

/home/zeil/AlgAE/java/../c++/../java> sh
> pwd
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java
> cd ../c++
> pwd
/home/zeil/AlgAE/c++
>

Working from a different mount is OK too:
/home/zeil/AlgAE/java/../c++/../java> cd /c/SJZ/AlgAE/java
/c/SJZ/AlgAE/java> cd ../c++
/c/SJZ/AlgAE/c++>

I suppose this counts as more of an annoyance than a real bug - I can
always fix the problem by doing a cd to an absolute path whenever the
accumulated ..'s get to me, but that gets a bit tiring.

Other info:
Here's my listing  from mount:
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
C:\SJZ on /home/zeil type system (binmode)
c: on /c type user (binmode)
d: on /d type user (binmode)
z: on /z type user (binmode)

and I've appended the cygcheck output below.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Steve Zeil
