Completion does not work correctly in the following circumstances:
When the name being completed is a socket:
stat /tmp/esr <^Z> results in...
stat /tmp/esrv2931/ <-- note the trailing "/"
Can't lstat /tmp/esrv2931/ <-- since there is no such file, stat fails
When part of the path is an unexpanded history substitution (vax & rt):
ls /etc/athena
!!/l<^Z> should expand to "ls /etc/athena/lib"
BEEP
but if I hit space instead, it expands to "ls /etc/athena/l "
(with a trailing space), and that completes correctly (after I
backspace to delete the space).
