I found today that file-name completion doesn't grok drive letters. To
reproduce, type something like "ls c:/" and then press TAB (several
times). What you will see will probably surprise you.
"/dev/c/" etc. do work, so I suspect this problem is because the
completion code assumes Unix-style file names.
If Bash uses fnmatch inside completion, then either it should use the
DJGPP version of fnmatch from libc.a, or the latest versions of GNU
fnmatch which know about drive letters (the patches were submitted to
glibc maintainer about a year ago, as part of the Make 3.77 port).
(This is not a new problem, it existed in the previous beta versions as
well; I just noticed it now.)
