Directory name completion blocks with single alternative


From: Tim Van Holder
Subject: Directory name completion blocks with single alternative

[GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.18) of 2006-08-01 on 
leeloo]

Given a directory structure of the form:

/top-dir/sub-dir/a-file
/top-dir/some-file

With M-x cd, entering "/t" TAB completes to "/top-dir/" like it should,
but "/top-dir/s" TAB does NOT complete to "/top-dir/sub-dir/" even though
there is only 1 matching directory (TAB TAB shows only "sub-dir" as only
alternative); it's necessary to disambiguate the directory name from the
names of any and all files in the same location for tab completion to
proceed.  This seems like a bug.
