[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#551780: Fix by reading from avahi-browse with a timeout

I like your solution leaving the user -/+ posix setting intact.  Leaving
a small chance the user does a ^C before we restore the setting I think
is the best we can do.  
Letting bash-completion disable posix globally just doesn't feel good.
The same goes for doing shopt -s extglob globally - see also this work
of Martin von Gagern:

Great if you can offer both bash-3.2 and bash-4 a solution, albeit
different.  I'm not experiencing problems with avahi though, so I can't
comment on the fix working.
