I think sufficiently braindead versions of sh just will do this to you,
including the one that comes default on Solaris 9:
rasch:~/>/usr/bin/sh
$ ls ~
~: No such file or directory
I get the same result on our system.
This applies also to system() processing, e.g.
system("mkdir -p ~/xxx")
gets you a directory "~" with subdir "xxx". (NB: If you try this,
think VERY carefully about how to remove that dir!!!!)
Yes, I've already made that mistake once. Once.
