ido.el reports possible completions wrongly
Using this 2 line .emacs file:
(require 'ido)
(ido-mode t)
and with hundreds of files in /usr/bin/, including /usr/bin/gnuplot,
typing:
C-x C-f / u s r / b i n / g n u p l o ?
shows me a message There are no possible completions of what you have
typed, but hitting SPC or TAB goes on to complete it to gnuplot, as
expected. Which typing the gnuplo part, I see [Too big] in the
minibuffer after the cursor.
Note also that immediately before typing the g in the above input,
the minibuffer displays:
Find file: /usr/bin/{bin/ | sbin/}
suggesting that /usr/bin/ contains subdirectories called 'bin' and
'sbin' (which it doesn't). Typing the '/' after 'bin' should have
made ido move on to the contents of the /usr/bin/ directory, but since
it's a big directory, it doesn't.

Look at ido-max-directory-size.
In this case C-a is your friend.
Note also that immediately before typing the g in the above input,
the minibuffer displays:
Find file: /usr/bin/{bin/ | sbin/}
suggesting that /usr/bin/ contains subdirectories called 'bin' and
'sbin' (which it doesn't).
No, it suggests that /usr contains two directories 'bin' and 'sbin' that
match what you wrote.
Typing the '/' after 'bin' should have
made ido move on to the contents of the /usr/bin/ directory, but since
it's a big directory, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't go to bin/ since there is another possible completion.
You can modify this by setting ido-enter-matching-directory to 'first.
So no errors here :-)
