>Hi,

>To reproduce the bug. Just create a directory with a ~ (mkdir
>-p /tmp/bad~dir). Then when you do a ":chdir /tmp/bad~dir", an error
>is raised "E79: Cannot expand wildcards".
>As a side effect it is not possible to use a tags file in the bad~dir
>or below (/tmp/bad~dir/tags) because it will no be seen by vim.
>
>Note I have not tested all shell but the bug appears with the tsch
>shell (and not zsh for example). So you must use this option "set
>shell=/bin/tcsh\ -f".
>
>Please find attached a patch that seems solve the problem not sure it
>is the good solution (and works in all situations). Maybe a solution
>will be to escaped ~ like '\~' before sending to the tcsh shell.

>Note: Tcsh debian version is 6.14.00-7
