Summary: Broken Completion for chgrp 
Distribution: --Distribution-Agnostic--
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
Description:
The _chgrp() function in the coreutils file in bash-completion does not fully complete.  It simply displays a list of available groups for the current user no matter what characters are entered.

Packages:
bash-completion 1.3

Additional information:
I am on archlinux, and they would prefer this to be sent upstream. I am not sure if the files have been modified during packaging, but it is unlikely. If that is the case, I have included the original coreutils file as well in case the patch file does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter 'chgrp' on a bash shell
2. Press Tab key [twice] for a list of available groups
3. Enter unambiguous characters from one of the groups
4. Press Tab key [to complete]
No completion occurs, it simply repeats step 2

Fix:
_allowed_groups -> _allowed_groups "$cur"
The attached patch file addresses the issue.
