    _______________________________________________________

Details:

(Note: Operating system is Cygwin; this is the standard Cygwin distribution of
Octave.)

Steps to reproduce:

  Create a directory tree: $pwd/foo/bar/.

  At the Octave command line in $pwd, type "cd f".

  Press tab; note that this completes to "cd foo/".

  Press tab again.

Expected result:

  Completion of the command line to "cd foo/bar/"

Actual result:

  Completion to "cd foo/foo/".  (Or, more generally, suggestion
  of "foo" and other items in $pwd.)

This can be repeated ad infinitum, tab-completing to "cd foo/foo/foo/foo/foo"
and so forth.


In addition, tab completion for "cd" is providing all items in the current
directory, not just subdirectories.
