Details:

If current working directory where Octave runs is removed (by another
process, for example) then:

1. If PS1 contains cwd, e.g. the default value of W|\t|\#> 
   then Octave goes into an infinite loop saying:

error: unable to find current directory
error: unhandled execution exception -- trying to return to prompt
error: unable to find current directory
error: unhandled execution exception -- trying to return to prompt
error: unable to find current directory


2. If PS1 does not contain cwd, then it says:

error: unable to find current directory


Could 1. behave as 2.?
