It seems there are (at least) two parts to this, one regarding
changing working directory which is clearly stated in the standards
and must work as it does, and the various issues regarding getting out
of the chroot after the cwd has entered that changed root. That second
part seems to offer room for additional controls on getting out of the
chroot which do not violate any of the obvious standards, and which
therefore might be valid candidates for discussion on the basis of
benefit rather than portability.
Correct. BSDs solved the problem by changing cwd on subsequent use of
chroot; I think there's a better way. I think the solution might be to
add a "previous root", and restrict the process there as well as the new
root. That is, once cwd is set within the new root, that new root is
the limit. Prior to setting cwd within the new root, the previous root
is the limit.
