Minor, but irritating, symlink problem
In december, I upgraded my office machine from debian to woody. A very
small, but nevertheless irritating, thing changed that I can't explain or
change; can anyone offer any wisdom?
Here it is. I have a symbolic link in my home directory on my desktop
machine that points to my campus-wide AFS space:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 aperrin aperrin 26 Feb 12 15:53 afshome ->
/afs/isis/home/a/p/aperrin
Before, doing:
cd af<tab>
would get me:
cd afshome/
so I could then navigate within my afs space without a second tab or
character keystroke.
Now, it gets me:
cd afshome
so I have to manually enter the / (or an additional tab) to get there.
I'm guessing this has to do with the updated version of bash, since it
doesn't happen if I run tcsh, and since on my home machine (still
potato) it works fine with bash.
home: bash version is 2.03.0(1)
work: bash version is 2.05a.0(1)
Thanks for any hints.
