The root cause is how bash itself handles curlies: $ bash --norc $ foo() { echo; echo "'$1'"; } $ complete -D -F foo $ r drivers/memory/tegra/tegra{-,124-e}mc.c dri<TAB> '-,124-e}mc.c'
...i.e. bash thinks we're completing the command '-,124-e}mc.c'. I don't think we can sanely fix this for real in bash completion, but this commit will improve things -- no more errors, and minimal filename completion activated: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/bash-completion/bash-completion.git/commit/?id=32e6e49 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
