What's wrong:
pit-manager% echo $home
/mit/jik/nfs
pit-manager% echo $cdpath
/mit/jik/nfs
pit-manager% echo ~
/mit/jik/nfs
pit-manager% cd
pit-manager% pwd
/mit/jik/nfs
So far, so good, right? Now:
pit-manager% ls ~/<completion-character>nfs/
In other words, even though the shell does all of the substitutions
properly according to $home, when you do filename completion it
expands ~ in terms of the /etc/passwd entry.
What should have happened:
~ should be expanded according to $home before the /etc/passwd entry
in filename completion.
