Tcsh (I don't know if you were running it) contains a bug. If I try to
complete a '~user/file' -style filename by hitting <tab> in the middle
of typing 'file', similar action results. I do not know any way to
cure the bug, you just have to avoid completing filenames containing
'~username'. Tcsh gets into a strange state after the described error
condition. To get it straight again, type 'echo ~legalusername' twice.
In the first time, echo won't print anything (strange?), but in the
second time it works normally.
