And again it is not the kernel. Obviously, it is the bashcomp shell scripts which do it in some case, here. > Could/should kernel patch number 38 really introduce new behavior? It might toggle that for some reason e.g. /dev/fd0 was not visible or accessible before. (Or at least not in the way how udev and bashcomp expected to access it.)
