Hi David
I'ts a really rubbish bug report - I was in too much of a hurry! The problem
file is /etc/bash_completion.d/service and it causes a problem on my system
when an empty string is passed to:
complete -F _service -o default ""
I've attached a patch that seems to fix it (rightly or not).
Sorry for the garbage!
Cheers
John
