Hi, I believe I've found a bug in BASH.
If I am in a directory via a SYMLINK, and I type ../otherdir<TAB> the
completion puts a space at the end of otherdir instead of a slash ( / )
e.g.:
[root@mail mail]# bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
[root@mail var]# ll mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 3 06:12 mail -> spool/mail
[root@mail var]# cd mail
[root@mail mail]# ll ../log <hit tab, got space not slash>
I don't know of any reason for it to do this, so I'm assuming it's a bug.
Thanks,
Barry Gould
