Funkyness as of pre4-3:

[sroot@oof:/]# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
/dev/hda4 on /d4 type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
/dev/hdb1 on /old/d2 type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
/dev/hdb4 on /old/d4 type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
/dev/hdc1 on /old/root type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
/dev/hdc2 on /d1 type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)
shm on /var/shm type shm (rw)
usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
foo:/ on /foo type nfs (rw,hard,intr,nolock,timeo=8,retrans=20,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,addr=192.168.143.1)
foo:/d1 on /foo/d1 type nfs (rw,hard,intr,nolock,timeo=8,retrans=20,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,addr=192.168.143.1)

[sroot@oof:/]# l /d
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 20 11:58 /d -> d1/linux/kernel/
[sroot@oof:/]# l -d /d1/linux/kernel
drwxrwsr-x 27 root src 5120 Apr 2 23:12 /d1/linux/kernel/

[sroot@oof:/]# cd /d
/d: Not a directory.
[sroot@oof:/]# cd /d/
[sroot@oof:/d]#

[sroot@oof:/d]# strace perl -e 'chdir("/d")'
...
chdir("/d") = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

...Hmm... X doesn't seem to be starting, either. Back to pre2...
