[Bug: 21.4.20] directory completion in shell not working

[Aaron Stambler]

I have not heard from anyone.  No problem with the delay.  It's not like
I'm paying for this stuff!

The shell I am using is cmd.exe from \WINDOWS\system32\ on Windows XP
SP2.  There was more information in my original e-mail about what
exactly happens:

I start up a shell with M-x shell.  The shell starts up on C drive.
Then at the prompt I type "cd Prog" and then press the Tab key.  The
command is completed as "cd Program Files\" which is what I would
expect.
I press the Enter key.  If I do a "dir" at this point I will see one
of the subdirectories is XEmacs.
At a prompt I type "cd XE" and press the Tab key.  I get the error "No
completions of XE".  However if again I type "cd Prog" and press Tab
it completes to "cd Program Files\" again.  The shell buffer is no
longer
keeping track of the current directory it seems.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Aaron

Sorry for the long delay.  Have you gotten any response on this?  Do you
have any further information?

I do have one question: what shell are you using?
