$HOME confusion on FreeBSD/XEmacs 21.5.12

Hi XEmacs seems to get confused about how FreeBSD has set up $HOME. Actually this might not be XEmacs' problem really, just that using XEmacs is getting annoying. FreeBSD sets up /home as a link to /usr/home. The result is this: the-saint:~/:104> the-saint:~/:104>echo $HOME /home/kaarthik the-saint:~/:105>pwd /usr/home/kaarthik the-saint:~/:106> The HOME (and ~) is set to "/home/<user>" while pwd in the home directory shows "/usr/home/<user>". With such a configuration, run M-x gdb on a program. 'gdb' goes to /usr/home/<user>/directory/program. Opening any file from the *gdb-program* buffer tries to open "/usr/home/<user>/path/file.c". But I already have file opened as "~/path/file.c". So now I have two buffers of the same file but marked as two different files with the same name. Running uniquify actually changes their buffer name to unique ones. So now modifying one buffer of the file leads to the other buffer shouting that the file has changed and whether I really want to continue editing the file. This gets really annoying after some time. Is there someway to set this right? Hope I was clear in my description. This is my XEmacs setup: "XEmacs 21.5 (beta12) \"carrot\" (+CVS-20030425) [Lucid] (i386-unknown-freebsd4.7) of Sat Apr 26 2003 on the-saint" If more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks.
