directory not found after executing sometimes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

not sure how it happens 

all I can do after an unexplainable change of directory to seemingly random 
segment of memory, because the shell's command line shows the directory, is 
close the terminal. It simply trys to check the working directory before every 
command but thedirectory pointer gets lost.

i can spawn an application like vi from busybox and I looked at the executables 
from which I was executing and the segmentation occurs, I see the same dirctory 
name string that gets in place of the real directory pointer followed by a new 
line( which is odd ) at the beginning of vi's output any ideas?
 I think it is the alias redirection but I cant set it to anything else.
