[era <1100806@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why was this filed against command-not-found?  Please follow up with a
rationale.  In the meantime, I'm adding a task for the gnome-terminal
which to the best of my understanding is also the terminal in Unity.

Unfortunately, the link to Ubuntu Forums is broken.  Could you please
fill in the information which used to be there, or find a new link?

Is this still reproducible in 14.10?

Title:
  Gnome terminal can't get into parent directoy

Status in command-not-found package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:

  Open a terminal and run

       mkdir a1
       mkdir a1/a2
       mkdir a1/a2/a3
       mkdir a1/a2/a3/a4
       mkdir a1/a2/a3/a4/foo-bar
       cd a1/a2/a3/a4/foo-bar
       emasc a.cpp &

  Note that is `emasc` misspelled intentionally. For some reason, this
  will close the terminal with no response. This has been confirmed for
  me on two separate computers. It _does not_ work on a separate shell
  screen `Control-Alt-F2` and _only_ with the default terminal `Control-
  Shift-T`. Is something going here that I don't know about?

  This happens more often than I like, but this is the only sequence of
  commands that reproduces the crash(?) every time.

  Navigating to the directory and running bash `getcwd()` fails
  (sometimes...)!

      cd ~/a1/a2/a3/a4/foo-bar
      bash

  With the error:

      shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
      sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory

  Again, this only happens on Gnome terminal as far as I can tell.
