There appears to be a bug in GNU emacs/gdb, in that filenames given to 'source' or directory names given to 'directory' which use the csh '~' username convention are not recognized. This convention *is* recognized by emacs itself for its file commands. In gdb, a file like '~/foo' is taken as '<pwd>/~/foo', presumably because it does not begin with a '/'. This is only a mild inconvenience, of course, except for gdb scripts which must use absolute (rather than user-relative) file references and which therefor must be modified when a user is migrated to another FS node. Thanks Ivan
