Comment 13 for bug 609146

This bug affects me. which does not find any programs in dirs starting with '~' however bash starts them with no problem.

Ubuntu release : "Ubuntu 13.04"
uname -a : Linux the-host 3.8.0-26-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 17 21:43:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My $PATH:
/home/petr/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:~/bin:~/opt/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin:~/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130219/sdk/platform-tools/:~/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130219/sdk/tools/:~/opt/android-ndk-r8e/:~/opt/bin/

Path for '~/bin' is actually duplicated by '/home/petr/bin' here so it works. But "which" does not show programs from any of
~/opt/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin
~/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130219/sdk/platform-tools/
~/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130219/sdk/tools/
~/opt/android-ndk-r8e/
~/opt/bin/
