If no one of the testers cares, and if only a tiny percentage of the
users actually use the cmd box for anything serious (unlike what
"we" do), then I can easily see how these things gets messed up.

If something would get screwed up in Bash, or any other shell, I
assure you that the problem would be solved in a day, if not sooner.
