>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.
