Hmm, this is extremely surprising, as 5.2.14 doesn't contain any code to quote shell metacharacters on tab completion. Are you sure those are vanilla sources? I know OpenBSD uses its own CVS repository for PDKSH -- does NetBSD do this too? Can you compare the tarball with <ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/pdksh/pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz>? > I have attached the patches from pkgsrc. These patches don't seem to do anything interesting. The next release of PDKSH on Cygwin will be built with a metacharacter quoting patch (from Debian). I'd still like to investigate this to see why it works for you on NetBSD without that patch...
