PROMISING - for the first time since January, the <TAB> completion works
without duplicating the last character on the line!
My original posting: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg01214.html
I've installed Bash 3.2-4 and libreadline6 5,2-2 as suggested, and the
rxvt version I've been running is 20050409-3. I'll continue testing and
report any problems, but I see immediate improvement in completion
handling with this combination!

===========
Follow up: Although early tests were promising, the same problems have
returned. Still using Bash 3.2-4 and libreadline6 5,2-2, and rxvt
20050409-3.
Attempting to progressively complete nested directories caused a
duplication in the "/" character. Example:
Assume a directory structure of
~/projects/projecta/phase1/documentation/
~/projects/projectb/phase1/documentation/
~/projects/projectc/phase1/documentation/
Typing "cd ~/projects" and pressing <TAB> completed ~/projects/
satisfactorily, but when pressing <TAB> a second time, "//" appeared
instead of "projects/project" so the problem persists.
The other issue that I face after having a terminal window open awhile
is that the BASH key editing bindings become lost - e.g. pressing ^A to
go the beginning of a line inserts a ^A instead of moving around.
Pressing ^E does not go to the end of the line but instead is over the
last character of the line, so appending to the line is impossible.
Is there anything I can do to help test? Let me know. I really long
for the days of last year when the command line editing with RXVT was
flawless.
