chdir'd into a locker in a directory I could read, but whose parent
directory I only had execute access to:
kremvax% ls -dgl .
drwxr-xr-x  2 1733    mit          2048 May 26 13:12 ./
kremvax% ls -dgl ..
drwx--x--x  4 1733    mit           512 May 26 13:16 ../
kremvax% pwd
pwd: getwd: can't open ..
kremvax% su
Password:
getwd: read error in ..kremvax%

Note the lack of newline after the error message from su. That's
all...
