On my home machine, "~/" expands to a pathname rooted at "/home".
However, the "/home" directory is actually mounted from "/auto/home".
When I run gdb inside Emacs, gdb (gdb-mode?) realizes this and sets
its working directory to "/auto/home/...".

The problem arises when gdb-mode needs to display some of my source
code.  Odds are good that the source code is already in some buffer,
but that buffer's default directory starts with "/home/...".  Gdb-mode
wants to bring it in from "/auto/home/...", so it ends up creating a
new buffer and loading in a second copy of my source.

Pretty soon, I've got every source in my project loaded into two
buffers: one rooted at "/home/..." and one at "/auto/home/...".  If I
edit one, the other gets uptight because it thinks it's been modified
on disk.  Or I may make changes in one, do something else, switch back
to the modified buffer, and the changes seem to have disappeared
because I changed "/home/..." and am now looking at "/auto/home/...".

You get the picture.  Most distressing.  Anyone know of a solution?
