[ Apologies in advance if you have seen this posting before.  I've been having
  problems with my posting software. ]

Problem description:

  If you attempt interactive filename completion where the filename starts
  with an environment variable and then attempt to complete to the next word
  with the space bar, the environment variable is deleted from the minibuffer
  and a SMALL subset of the value of that environment varible is left behind.

How to reproduce:

  M-x setenv FOO /tmp/		; assuming that you have MAINTAIN_ENVIRONMENT
  C-x C-f $FOO [SPC-BAR]

Hardware: hp9000/375
Software: HP-UX 7.0, C Compiler 7.40.
Emacs:    GNU Emacs version 18.55.
