More on tilde expansion

[Leonard den Ottolander <leonard den ottolander nl>]

Hi,

Getting slightly frustrated that this seemingly simple issue turns out
to be so hard to solve.

I did verify that tilde_expand() returns correct values. Still for some
reason the following patch (only affects copy of a single
file/directory) does not work correctly for files/directories that do
not contain a slash in the name. Ie ~/[path] and ~leonard/[path] work
correctly, but not ~ and ~leonard. It is just as if tilde_expand is not
called in such cases. I am totally clueless. Anyone care to shed some
light?
