As I already wrote in http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00838.html,
it seems that the patch is missing in the binary but not in the source.
A self-build version with the patch behaves correctly, the -17 version
does not.
If you have not much time anymore (and not even a Windows machine at home),
are you still willing to be bash maintainer for Cygwin? I'm curious if
there's a chance to upgrade us to 3.0 at one point. It seems rather stable
to me, though it needs the same fix to bash_directory_completion_hook
as the 2.05 version :-}
