"Too many file names" in vi

[Lyndon VanWagner]

I'm experiencing a problem with vi in my environment.
Lately, I've been getting the following message when trying to
edit or read a file, using the tilde character (~) to reference
files keyed off a home directory:
	Too many file names

Does any one have a suggestion as to what may be causeing this?
No one else here at work seem to be experiencing the same problem,
so its not with the global environment.  And I can't seem to find
the message documented anywhere.
