howdy
so I downloaded the cygwin bash source and built it without multibyte
character support and guess what? no bug.
% PS1='\[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\a\e[1;34m\]: [\!] \W ; \[\e[0m\]'
: [2] bash-3.0 ; ls ba<tab>
bash.exe* bashhist.h bashline.c bashversion.exe*
bashansi.h bashhist.o bashline.h
bashbug* bashintl.h bashline.o
bashhist.c bashjmp.h bashtypes.h
: [2] bash-3.0 ; ls bash
: [3] bash-3.0 ; echo ${BASH_VERSINFO[*]}
3 00 16 1 release i686-pc-cygwin
cheers
