The first time I use <change-dir>../<enter> mutt interprets
".." as the start directory, then things get more complicated, and
after browsing randomly using my macro some times it happens the
"Directory" value in the status line may easily appear for example
as: 
"=../Mail/archive/old/../../archive/old/../../archive"

It's definitively a mutt bug and I've already reported it.
