Well, despite tackling this for several days, I find the problem almost as soon as posting. _filedir_xpec depends on having $BASH_COMPLETION set. That's fine. There is a declare -x BASH_COMPLETION=blah at the top of /etc/bash_completion. Lo and behold, when I open up a new shell, BASH_COMPLETION is not set, but BASH_COMPLETION_DIR is set. bash -x /etc/bash_completion tells me it is being set. I suppose we just chalk this up to another Heisenbug? So I just set it before running /etc/bash_completion - not a fix, but it works... -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ Confucius say: He who play in root, eventually kill tree. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
