For various reasons not worth going into here, I renamed my home directory from /home/foo to /home/Foo and re-created my "foo" user name. It is not possible to edit anything in the /home/Foo hierarchy with emacs. At all. I can cd to the correct directory and invoke "emacs file" and it will try to open the equivalently named file under /home/foo. Somebody somewhere fiddled some code such that tab-completion works correctly, but when it comes to actually "visiting" the file, the blasted thing substitutes "$HOME" for "/home/Foo". Someone please be kind enough to find that "strncasecmp" and replace it with "strncmp" and put out an emergency fix. Thank you.
