This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Trigger: To a shell process: M-x dirs
Symptoms: Message "Can't cd" and the action fails.
Reason: All shell commands (on my box) are echoed on the line following the
command
line, so it attempts to cd to "dirs".
Below is a patch which looks at the line to see if it starts out
with "dirs" or "pwd" or "echo". If it does, it eats the line.
'Course, if that happens to be the name of your directory it flops.
But, I don't know how to tell whether the shell is going to echo.
Maybe you do, but this is an improvement over the existing situation.
HTH,
AK

Set comint-process-echoes to t.
