Yes, but theoretically, ECL processes the leading "~" and transforms it into 
the value of the home directory. Therefore, the real problem might have been 
the use of getpw(), which is the routine used for this purpose.

Glad to hear that. The fix is already in CVS together with some other minor 
changes in CLOS.
