Initial Comment:
From: Anthony DeRobertis <asd at suespammers.org>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit at bugs.debian.org>
Subject: bash-completion fails with e.g., ls and newlines in file names
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 01:37:41 -0400

Package: bash
Version: 3.0-15
Severity: minor
File: /etc/bash_completion

anthony at bohr:foo$ touch "$(echo -e 'foo\nbar')"
anthony at bohr:foo$ ls -b
foo\nbar
anthony at bohr:foo$ ls f<tab><tab>
bar  foo  

Notice how instead of completing foo?bar (where ? = newline) it offers
to complete either foo or bar.
