Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
In certain circumstances, attempting completion seems to cause
Bash to temporarily forget an alias. This seems
to occur when `eval' is used in the completion function.
Repeat-By:
To reproduce the problem, I first give the following 3 commands:
alias c5=echo
cf5() { eval true; }
complete -F cf5 c5
I then type "c5 a" at the command line. The cursor is now
just after the `a'. I then request completion by hitting
Tab (no completions are found, of course). I then hit Enter.
Bash then gives the message "-bash: c5: command not found".
