user.ps and pwd

I have just found that running 'pwd' from startup.ps causes infinite recursion,
and the system fills up with forking pwd's.

        { (wsh -f Screen.12 -p100,200 -r500 -s40x80 -t"$USER on `hostname``pwd`"
   ) for
kunix }

The login hangs and attempt to killall from the console are rebuffed
with "no more processes"

I have removed the offending pwd, and all is well, but this might
cause problems for others. I guess that there is no working directory
setup from user.ps
