Haeh??

godzilla% mkdir x
godzilla% cd x
godzilla% rmdir ../x
rmdir: directory "../x": Can't remove current directory or ..
godzilla% uname -sr
SunOS 5.5.1

Other example:

godzilla% cd /tmp
godzilla% mkdir x
godzilla% cd x
godzilla% rmdir /tmp/x
rmdir: directory "/tmp/x": Can't remove current directory or ..
godzilla% uname -sr
SunOS 5.5.1

So Solaris checks the current working directory for EINVAL. I don't know
how you've succeded.

Bye
Martin
