Completion crashes the shell

[Chris F.A. Johnson]

This completion function worked in previous versions, but fails in
bash4.0 when I press TAB:

_cpsh() {
COMPREPLY=( `
cd "$HOME/scripts" || return 3
printf "%s\n" ${COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}*-sh`
)
COMPREPLY=( "${comprep...@]%-sh}" )
  }
complete -F _cpsh cpsh


 This is what happens:

$ cpsh 
malloc: ./parse.y:5563: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
last command: _cpsh() {
  COMPREPLY=( `
  cd "$HOME/scripts" || return 3
  printf "%s\n" ${COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}*-sh`
  )
  COMPREPLY=( "${comprep...@]%-sh}" )
}
Aborting...Aborted
