Summary:                    ash: Tab completion doesn't work for broken symlinks
Description: 
I found out, that tab completion in cmdedit.c doesn't work
for broken symbolic links.

Symptoms:
---------
[lxtc3861 - ~ #] ls -l | grep -- "->"
lrwxrwxrwx [...] Mar 23 11:16 root -> /
lrwxrwxrwx [...] Mar 29 09:57 symlink -> i_do_not_exist
lrwxrwxrwx [...] Mar 29 10:01 symlink_working -> linuxrc
lrwxrwxrwx [...] Mar 23 11:16 tmp -> var/tmp
[lxtc3861 - ~ #] ls sy
symlink_working   sys/              system/
[lxtc3861 - ~ #] ls sy

Explanation:
------------
The symbolic link "symlink" points to "i_do_not_exist" and this file
does (surprise, surprise) not exist. Although the symlink is there and
occupies an inode and is a "real" file, it doesn't get listed as part
of the possible matches.

If interestingly my opinion I approve this correction. 
The new version cmdedit on mine ftp already contains this correction.
