Initial Comment:
Hi,
When starting bash, I got messages like following:
bash: [: =: unary operator expected
bash: [: =: unary operator expected
After some tracing I found the cause in /etc/bash_completion.d/procps
This uses the value $UNAME unquoted on lines 26 and 41, and, since UNAME is not set on my system, this causes above errors.
Quoting $UNAME fixes it for me.
Hope this will help -at least- other people with systems which are as poorly configured as this one.
greetings,
Bas

Based on the description I guess you're using an old version of bash-completion, the current version is 2.0.
