in-directory word completion

Package: emacs
Version: 21.4.1
Severity: normal


When I have a buffer open to a file in one directory (such as, say,
 "/dir1/afile[1-3]",  and I have a shell open in emacs and cd to a different
 directory, such as "/dir2/afile[4-6]", entering something like 'ls f' and
 trying to use the TAB key to expand out possible completions of a word gives
 the correct listings for /dir1, not /dir2 (that is, it will give file1,
 file2, and file3, not file4, file5, and file6).
