In GNU Emacs 18.58.15 of Sat Jun 13 1992 on haduk (hpux)

Sometimes I'll be in a directory other than my home directory and I'll
type:

   % emacs foo

where foo is the name of a file that exists in the current directory,
and emacs will come up with an empty buffer, apparently pointing to
~/foo .

This only seems to happen on our HP's running HPUX 08.07.

Any ideas on what's going on and how I can fix the problem?
