-> What's new in GRASS 5.0.0pre4
   "Source Code:

    * etc/Init.sh: $LOCATION does not exist any more, instead it is
      constructed in every script with g.gisenv locally now (enables location
      switching)
   "

Write it as:
alias cdmap 'cd `g.gisenv GISDBASE`/`g.gisenv LOCATION_NAME`/`g.gisenv MAPSET`'

in BASH:
alias 'cdmap=cd `g.gisenv GISDBASE`/`g.gisenv LOCATION_NAME`/`g.gisenv MAPSET`'
