fish: Trying to change directory to current directory causes hang

[alex.dorokhov@…]

Changing directory to parent or another one (without cd) with this approach:

$ ..
$ ./another_one

works great.

However if you made a mistake and instead of ".." try to call ".":

$ .

fish will freeze. And nothing you can do with current terminal.

You should probably report the problem to the developers of fish so that they can fix it. When they release a new version, we can update the port.

The fish shell has . as an alias for source. When called without arguments it expects commands from stdin, so that behavior was actually normal.
