It's a bash trick when changing dir to a symlink:

hell:/sys/block/hda$ cd device
hell:/sys/block/hda/device$ cd block
hell:/sys/block/hda/device/block$ cd device
hell:/sys/block/hda/device/block/device$ cd block
hell:/sys/block/hda/device/block/device/block$ pwd
/sys/block/hda/device/block/device/block
hell:/sys/block/hda/device/block/device/block$ /bin/pwd
/sys/block/hda
hell:/sys/block/hda/device/block/device/block/device$ pwd
/sys/block/hda/device/block/device/block/device
hell:/sys/block/hda/device/block/device/block/device$ /bin/pwd
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/ide0/0.0
