Steps to reproduce:
Create a folder named "lol"
in the shell put the following("rename lol LOL")

Whats happen:
the computer dont respond and if you press CTRL+l it shutdowns

What I expect to happen:
rename renames the directory

EDIT: it happens in minecraft and CC-EMU

Been reported already… it happens because you're trying to move a directory inside itself, assuming you're on Windows.
It moves lol to lol/lol, then (because it's moving the contents of lol) moves lol/lol to lol/lol/lol, then (because it's moving the contents of lol/lol) moves lol/lol/lol to lol/lol/lol/lol, etc…

Acknowledged. Have cleaned up a lot of crap on this thread, as this isn't a support section. Google works wonders.
