[Bash-completion-devel] Bug with regex for bash-completion hosts-file

[Giordon Stark]

2.1 also has a whole bunch of extra errors that don't crop up in 1.3:

-bash: declare: -A: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
-bash: complete: -D: invalid option
complete: usage: complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-pr] [-o option] [-A action] [-G
globpat] [-W wordlist] [-P prefix] [-S suffix] [-X filterpat] [-F function]
[-C command] [name ...]
