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
