Yes there is a fix, but that is if you are *in* a directory with ~:
mkdir /tmp/foo~bar
cd /tmp/foo~bar
cat "....." > foo.texi
texi2dvi foo.texi
did break before, now it works. But the other case:
mkdir /tmp/foo~bar
cat "..." > /tmp/foo~bar/foo.texi
texi2dvi /tmp/foo~bar/foo.texi
breaks as you know.

Feeling you get when the pubs aren't going to be open for another
fortyfive minutes and the luffness is beginning to wear a bit thin.
