Summary: Odd behavior of 'cd ~/' on Linux

Initial Comment:
In a Rexx program using something like:

  say 'Using:'
  say 'cd ~'
  say 'pwd'
  say
  'cd ~'
  'pwd'

You will get the sudden premature end of the program and "Aborted" printed out.  Like so:

[root@Osprey work.ooRexx]# rexx newTest.rex
Using:
cd ~
pwd

Aborted

I believe the 'Aborted may be coming from bash.

This is on 64-bit Fedora Core 10, haven't tried with a 32-bit OS.

Message:
Committed revision 4606.

Several areas in the code forgot to add in room for the slash separating
the two strings.

dir_buf = (char *)malloc(strlen(ppwd->pw_dir)+strlen(slash)+1);
/* merge the strings          */
sprintf(dir_buf, "%s/%s", ppwd->pw_dir, slash);

This has been there for some time.
