I have the same problem. I think it is the same problem as Debian bug #544024 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544024). In the debian bug report there is a fix that works for me: --- /etc/bash_completion.orig 2009-09-03 08:21:15.229720217 -0400 +++ /etc/bash_completion 2009-09-03 08:21:36.473719600 -0400 @@ -213,6 +213,10 @@ # results in the original argument quote_readline() { + if [ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -gt 3 ]; then + echo "$1" + return + fi local t="${1//\\/\\\\}" echo \'${t//\'/\'\\\'\'}\' #'# Help vim syntax highlighting }
