Hi Dan,

That seems correct behaviour to me. It's the same line I'm still in the
process of entering after pressing `n'.
$ abc <tab>
Display all 261 possibilities? (y or n) n
$ abc
See, the `abc' is still there. The prompt shouldn't be recalculated
everytime it is written to the screen. There lies madness.
Cheers,
Ralph.
