["Zow" Terry Brugger]

Just found an interesting little problem: ~ maps to my home directory 
alright, but it just uses the name of my directory as a filename. I have 
HOME set to /homes/zow so when I do:
cp foo.c ~
it copies the file to a file named homeszow in the same directory. Do I 
have something set up wrong, is this a known problem (that someone possibly 
has a patch for?), or should I go wade through the bash source?

TIA,
Terry
