386BSD, pk0.2.4. I was working in two windows under screen, and accidentally
deleted the directory that was the current directory for another window.
As soon as I did something that accessed '.' in the other window, the system
panicked.

I wasn't working on the console (or even at home)at the time, so I only have
a report of the panic. Is this a known problem? It's non-optimal behaviour.
