problem about '..' in bash
There is an interview question about UNIX bash:

Some shells like bash try to make '..' always work propery, namely, from home directory, cd ../$USER will place you in your home directory. Does bash always get this behavior correct?

Anyway can provide any example that bash doesnt work well?

Thanks!
