Could you send the output of
	$ alias
from both machines?  I suspect the Debian Linux machine may have
aliased cd to something clever.  OpenBSD does some crap like that
in /etc/ksh.kshrc, too.

Aliasing standard commands to themselves is Evil.  It leads to
just these kinds of problems.  /etc/ksh.kshrc is Evil in general.
