Really?  I suppose the changelog entry reads like that (ChangeLog.11
2004-09-12 Daniel Pfeiffer).  You'd be very tempted to allow a "cd"
after simple stuff like an echo though.

The second case too, with a hairy shell expression in the cd?  Just
enough that the command is started of course, no need to worry if it
does anything good or bad.
