I think there's a bug in `compgen -f' if a directory contains a single
or double quote. I asked the bug-bash mailing list, see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-b...@gnu.org/msg06684.html
We need to look into this and probably apply the workarounds below to
_filedir().
Excerpt from bug-bash mail:
---8<--------------------------------------------------------
So, these are the workarounds:
$ ls a\'b/ # For reference, works on both bash-3 & bash-4
c
$ compgen -f a\\\'b/ # Workaround for bash-4
a\'b/c
$ compgen -f a\\\\\\\'b/ # Workaround for bash-3
a\'b/c
