bug#5562: Emacs 23.1 problem with "tex-bibtex-file" command

[人在江湖]

Below is the bug report created by using "M-x report-emacs-bug", just
that I could not send it successfully.

To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
Subject: 23.1; problem with "tex-bibtex-file" command
--text follows this line--
In Emacs LaTeX mode, whenever I tried to invoke bibtex command on the
current file by using C-c Tab (equivalent to issusing command
"tex-bibtex-file"), emacs changed the current directory to the home
directory and thus not being able to find the corresponding *.aux
file.

Note that I was actually using Emacs LaTeX mode, not AucTeX mode.
