Initial Comment:
Hello, my friend and I we have a problem with ssh and bash-completion. Both are using ArchLinux (updated) and bash-completion 1.2

We use ".ssh/config" with a lot of hosts, like this:
host domain-fw
    hostname domain.com.br
    user felipeng

If we typed 'ssh domain-fw' the connection are established, but if we typed 'ssh domai(TAB-TAB)'
the prompt just stop to respond and only with a 'Ctrl+c' to get back to work.

Hi --

I'm emailing you directly about a bash-completion bug because
there wasn't a button to actually submit the comment I'd typed
in the box.  The bug in question is 312691, and the problem as
described by the original reporter occurs when avahi-daemon is
not running, which makes avahi-browse sit around waiting for a
response before returning.  Either starting avahi-daemon or
commenting out the stanza beginning with "if type avahi-browse"
fixes the problem.

My preference would be for completions to work in a timely
fashion whether or not avahi-daemon is running, but I'm not
sufficiently clued into that piece of software to understand
whether that's reasonable.  Thanks for your time.

pete

Message:
I cannot reproduce the problem on my machine.  I've put this in ~/.ssh/config:

    Host domain-fw
            HostName 127.0.0.1

And completing `ssh domai<TAB>' goes just fine on bash-4.1 and bash-3.2.  What version of bash are you using?  Can you do a `set -x' before doing the completion and see at which command bash-completion stops?
