In csh (all versions), a directory named ${home}aaa gets compressed 
incorrectly to ~aaa.  For example, my home directory is /mit/qjb but
I also use /mit/qjbdev.  If I cd to /mit/qjbdev, "dirs" shows ~dev.
If I try to access "~dev", however, it says that there is no such
user (dev).  The latter behavior is correct.
