Initial Comment:
bash 4.2.20(1)-release

$ ./runUnit --debug _filedir.exp
[...]
Running ./unit/_filedir.exp ...
FAIL: completing f a\$b/ should return h
FAIL: f "a\$b/ should show completion
FAIL: completing f2 a\$b/ should return h
[...]

That test case looks quite weird to me (what are those \b's for?), help needed.  dbg.log contains stuff like:


send: sending "f a\$b/\t" to { exp7 }

expect: does "" (spawn_id exp7) match exact string "f a\$b/"? no
f a\$b/
expect: does "f a\$b/" (spawn_id exp7) match exact string "f a\$b/"? yes
expect: set expect_out(0,string) "f a\$b/"
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp7"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "f a\$b/"
Gate keeper glob pattern f/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test/fixtures/_filedir/a\\\$b/h $'/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test/fixtures/_filedir/a\\\$b/h '. Activating booster.
Gate keeper glob pattern for '^/@$' is '/@'. Activating booster.

expect: does "" (spawn_id exp7) match regular expression "^\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test/fixtures/_filedir/a\\\$b/h $"? Gate "\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test/fixtures/_filedir/a\\\$b/h "? gate=no
"^/@$"? Gate "/@"? gate=no
h 
expect: does "h " (spawn_id exp7) match regular expression "^\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test/fixtures/_filedir/a\\\$b/h $"? Gate "\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008\u0008/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test/fixtures/_filedir/a\\\$b/h "? gate=no
