bug#508: emacs 22.2.1 becomes confused |

Hi,
I recently re-installed my system. For various reasons not worth
going into here,
I renamed my home directory from /home/foo to /home/Foo and re-created my
"foo" user name. It is not possible to edit anything in the /home/Foo hierarchy
with emacs. At all. I can cd to the correct directory and invoke "emacs file"
and it will try to open the equivalently named file under /home/foo. Somebody
somewhere fiddled some code such that tab-completion works correctly, but
when it comes to actually "visiting" the file, the blasted thing substitutes
"$HOME" for "/home/Foo". Someone please be kind enough to find that
"strncasecmp" and replace it with "strncmp" and put out an emergency fix.
Thank you. Regards, Bruce
