PC-do-completion unconditionally adds wildcards to directory

Subject: PC-do-completion unconditionally adds wildcards to directory

Symptoms:

The CVS version of complete.el adds a wildcard to directories in
PC-do-completion. See the code starting in line 394 with comment
";; Add wildcards if necessary".
This causes problems with clearcase files, e.g. I get errors like:

read-file-name-internal: Opening directory: no such file or directory, 
/vobs/ubtssw_onecell_images/sunos/sunboard/src/misc.cc@@/main*/

when clearcase tries to access a version element of a file and
partial-completion now adds this "*" to the last subdirectory.
This worked fine in emacs 21.3.

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to make this addition of a wildcard 
to the directory optional.

As an alternative approach I'll try to change the read-file-name call
in clearcase.el.
