Follow-up Comment #5:

Attached patch fixes the infinite loop. Not pushed yet because I'm not sure
what string is best to present in place of the directory. This patch does the
following:


octave:1> PS1 ("\\s:\\w> ");
octave:~> mkdir ~/tempdir
ans =  1
octave:~> cd ~/tempdir
octave:~/tempdir> rmdir ~/tempdir
ans =  1
error: unable to find current directory
octave:> pwd
error: unable to find current directory
error: pwd: unable to find current directory
error: unable to find current directory
octave:> cd
error: unable to find current directory
octave:~> 


If no one objects I can push this fix.
