This is typical when the directory you are in has been removed out from under
you. Try this:

Log into two shells (or use screen, or whatever), A and B. In A, do "cd ~;
mkdir -p xxx/yyy; cd xxx/yyy; touch 123; ls -l 123". Then, in B, do "cd ~; rm
-rf xxx". Finally, back in A, repeat what you did above, "ls -l 123; pwd;
/bin/pwd". You will find the behavior is the same.

Good luck,
