(pasted this in from dead.bashbug when the mail failed.)

Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release

Description:
The meta-{ command should automatically expand filenames that match the
current prefix into a {,,,} list.  I found a test case for which this
does not work correctly.

Repeat-By:
$ mkdir tmp; cd tmp
$ cat | xargs touch  # paste the following lines in; terminate with ^d

^d
$ rm <meta-{>  # expands to a long list of filenames
rm: cannot remove `app-controllers-account__controller_rb.html': No such
file or directory
$ rm <meta-{>  # expands to: app-controllers-accounts_controller_rb.html


Thanks,
