Hi!
I found bug in 'GNU bash, version 4.0.0(18)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)'. In
order to reply it, just type:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ./bash
$ ls a<TAB>
malloc: /Users/chet/src/bash/src/parse.y:5561: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
last command: ./bash
Aborting...Aborted
In order to fix it:
1. Open file 'pcomplete.c'.
2. Go to line 1008.
3. Change it to 'sh_parser_state_t ps = {0};'
But, this reveals another problem. Just try to type, under bash sources
directory, 'ls a<TAB>'. First time you press <TAB> your speaker will beep.
Second time you press <TAB> files will be listed, but cursor go to the left
part of 'xterm'. You always must press END key on the keyboard in order to
place cursor where it shold be.
The problem as it turned out was in $PS1 variable. It's hard to say exactly
what is the cause, probably some escape sequence. I just comment it out in
'.bashrc' file and problem disappear.
PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$PS1"
But one problem remain. <CTRL-L> doesn't work as expected. In order to
clear screen you need to type 'clear' rather then just <CTRL-L>. For now I
just don't know how to correct that.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
