hey, here's another good way to confuse your workstation:

   cd ~
   fs mkmount lose user.kkkken
   repeat 10000 cd lose

It sat there for a long time, and finally did really lose:

   athena% cd /afs/athena/user/k
   athena% pwd
   /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/k
   athena% cd kkkken
   athena% pwd
   /
   athena% echo $cwd
   /afs/athena/user/k/kkkken

It's actually pwd that's lying (as revealed by stat).  

Should afs prevent you from mounting volumes under themselves?
