Are you using bash-completion? If so, it's likely a bug in bash-completion for passing an underquoted file name through the shell such that it results in a failed globbing attempt on a literal \. I haven't yet managed to reproduce this in my setup (perhaps I need to double-check that my $CYGWIN hasn't already suppressed the warning?). Maybe showing: $ set -vx $ pushd ~/myuserdrv/My\ Down[TAB] might give me some insight where to look at plugging the leak? -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
