Macports doesn't work:

sudo: cannot get working directory
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
error getting working directory name: no such file or directory
    while executing
"pwd"
    invoked from within
"set current_portdir [pwd]"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 4774)

Anyone an idea?

Did you delete the directory you were in from another shell? – Wooble May 23 '12 at 13:53
Is either your home dir or current working dir on a remote volume? It sounds like something that could happen if your authentication ticket expired while connected to a kerberized NFS share. – DouglasDD May 24 '12 at 1:19
