bug#27989: 26.0.50; Completion in shell-mode not working properly on MS-Windows

[Chris Zheng]

After applying commit 3a8d0cc825635e07da2a90c4ac987b476fc9b05d, the
completion function does not work properly on MS-Windows.

1. Start emacs with “-Q”, for example in emacs/src directory.
2. M-x shell. A cmd shell will appear.
3. Type “cd ./” in the *shell* buffer. Press TAB, the minibuffer
says “Complete, but not unique”. Press TAB again, the minibuffer
says “No completions”.

The expected (old) behavior is

Possible completions are:
../     ./
bitmaps/        deps/

in the *Completions* buffer.


Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Chris
