Hello,

This doesn't seem right:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bash_completion]$ foo=x
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bash_completion]$ foo=bar
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bash_completion]$ readonly foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bash_completion]$ foo=bar >/dev/null
bash: foo: readonly variable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bash_completion]$ foo=bar 2>/dev/null
bash: foo: readonly variable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bash_completion]$ foo=bar &>/dev/null
bash: foo: readonly variable

   What are you tring to redirect? There is no output from your
   command; it is only an assignment to a read-only variable (which is
   naturally going to fail).
