on the side, this dumps core on an Encore running UMAX 4.2:

	mkdir x
	mkdir y
	set home=x/y	# not absolute!
	cd
	cd ../..	# reference to $home?
	***BOOM***

I know it's a stupid thing to do, but it shouldn't dump core.  actually, the
cd ../.. should work, it's cd by itself that should have trouble, though just
with not being able to find $home.

(Just tried it on our vanilla [for now] 4.3 VAX - another core dump!)
