With zsh 4.0.4 and AUTO_CD, under Linux and ext3 filesystem type:

ay:~> mkdir blah
ay:~> cd blah
ay:~/blah> ..
ay:~> cd blah
ay:~/blah> rmdir ../blah
ay:~/blah> ..
zsh: permission denied: ..
zsh: exit 1     ..
ay:~/blah[Failed 1]> cd ..
ay:~>

The problem is that after the rmdir, "ls -a" no longer lists . and ..
(though doing something like "cat > .." gives the following error:
"zsh: is a directory: .."). When using ".." only, the directory can't
be found, but when using "cd ..", zsh assumes that the directory ..
still exists.
