I can't reproduce that with bash

thorsten AT tkampe[~]$ ca<TAB>
cabinet.dll    cal            calwin32.dll   cat.exe
cabview.dll    cal.exe        capisp.dll     catsrv.dll
cacls.exe      calc.exe       captoinfo.exe  catsrvps.dll
cadaver.exe    caller         case           catsrvut.dll
thorsten AT tkampe[~]$ ca

So cat is only listed once (as cat.exe) (cal is listed twice because I 
aliased it to "cal -m").
