Package: bash
Version: 4.3-11+b1
Severity: normal
bash is failing when i try to tab-complete on the input line:
cat <(sort <
the error message seems to be:
bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
bash: command substitution: line 2: `sort <'
Here's me trying it from a clean shell:
0 dkg@alice:~$ env -i bash --norc
bash-4.3$ bash --version

i reported this on #bash on freenode, and koala_man said "works for me
with 4.3.11(1)-release", so it may be recently introduced somewhere.
I have also verified that it is not a problem with the version of bash
in wheezy.
I do not have the bash-completion package installed.
This may be an upstream bug -- feel free to forward it, i do not have
the bandwidth at the moment.
Thanks for maintaining bash in debian!
Regards,

Hi,
this issue does not seem to affect version 5.0-6 and later of bash.
$ cat <(sort <<TAB><TAB>
list of files in the current directory
$ cat <(sort <
Please reopen this bug if you can still reproduce this issue.
