bash 2.05b-7 and command line tab completion

[Eric Blake]

I'm still having problems with tab completion in the latest bash:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(7)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
$ ll ~/jacks/jacks # I typed ll ~/ja[TAB]jacks
-rwxr-xr-x 1 eblake unknown 558 Jul 24 18:33 jacks*
$ ~/jacks jacks # I typed ~/ja[TAB]jacks

I expected to get ~/jacks/jacks both times, but the bash is inserting a space after ~/directory when it is the first (but not subsequent) command line word. However, /h[TAB]e[TAB]ja[TAB]jacks now works, giving /home/eblake/jacks/jacks (and it hasn't always done so in prior versions of bash). So whatever was fixed to make /-based tab completion work needs to also apply to ~-based tab completion.
