Subject:	bug in bash auto-completion (?)
X-Enigmail-Version:	0.71.3.0
X-Enigmail-Supports:	pgp-inline, pgp-mime

I noticed that, when autocompleting directory names as first thing in 
the command line, the second directory is seen as an executable.

Example:
suppose I have examples/tictactoe/ttt.exe (which is my case, btw)
(consecutive lines are effect of the line above)

$ exa_<TAB>
$ examples/_
$ examples/tic<TAB>
$ examples/tictactoe _
...and to actually reach ttt.exe I must back-space and then continue
$ examples/tictactoe <BS>/
$ examples/tictactoe/_
$ examples/tictactoe/ttt<TAB>
$ examples/tictactoe/ttt.exe

If same auto-completion is not the first thing on the command line 
(white space doesn't matter, of course) instead the "correct" behaviour 
can be seen:

$ insight exa<TAB>
$ insight examples/_
$ insight examples/tic<TAB>
$ insight examples/tictactoe/_
$ insight examples/tictactoe/ttt.<TAB>
$ insight examples/tictactoe/ttt.exe
