>Description:
When using ksh's file "complete-list" function in emacs mode,
ksh does not recognize ".." as a directory: no "/" is automatically
added to it. Instead the terminal just beeps.
Same thing happens also with "complete" and "complete-file".
This is annoying, because the slash needs to be written
separately when traversing several directories upwards
(at least with finnish kbd map where it is hard to write the
slash: shift+7).
>How-To-Repeat:
Bind "complete-list" to some key, such as ^I, write "cd .." and
hit the bound key. Terminal beeps, "/" does not appear after "..".
>Fix:
Unknown. I tried looking through -current ksh sources, and
as far as I can see, eval.c:globit() should add "/" after "..",
since I should think S_ISDIR() check would evaluate to true
for stat of "..".
Perhaps the problem is that ksh refuses to glob ".." in the
first place.
