[Bash-completion-devel] Test suite failures/questions

Hello,

I have a few questions about and some failures in the test suite:

1) ./runCompletion (alone, or with $something.exp) always prints out:
----
ERROR Unexpected output from bash command "bash --rcfile config/bashrc":
----
By adding some send_user's to assert_bash_exec I found that the "unexpected" 
output, $results, is empty when printed, but its string length is 8.  Huh?

2) finger's "Tab should complete partial hostname" test fails.  It's just the 
test - as far as I can tell, the actual completion works fine when I run it in 
a shell.

3) All xhost completion tests (except unmodified env) fail.  Again, the 
completions seem to work just fine when run in a shell.

4) There are a few other failures with arch, dcop, look, scp, sftp, ssh, and 
vncviewer which I haven't had a closer look into yet.

Any ideas about 1-3 above?  I'm still pretty much completely clueless wrt. 
expect and the scripts, just poking around.
