Re: [completion with directory starting with = doesn't work]

[Tatavarty Kalyan]

I see the same behaviour as posted above.

# mkdir =foo =foobar
# cd =\=foo
-bash: cd: ==foo: No such file or directory
# echo $BASH_VERSION
2.05b.0(1)-release

I get the same result with bash version 3.00.15(1)-release.

I am not sure if this is related to bash completion package.
Also this maynot be a bug as bash might be treating '=' as a word
break character.
