Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 39 Release Status: release Description: Hi, bash crashes if tab completition releated many times. These are only the last lines: <cut> marc...@kubus:~$ ls / bin/ cdrom/ etc/ initrd/ initrd.img.old lib32/ lost+found/ mnt/ proc/ sbin/ sys/ usr/ vmlinuz boot/ dev/ home/ initrd.img lib/ lib64/ media/ opt/ root/ srv/ tmp/ var/ vmlinuz.old marc...@kubus:~$ ls / malloc: ../bash/subst.c:4198: assertion botched realloc: start and end chunk sizes differ last command: ping 192.168.0.1 Aborting... Warning: Program '/bin/bash' crashed. </cut> Repeat-By: Type 'ls /' or 'less /etc/p', for example, and press tab. Keep tab pressed for a while. In my case bash crashed after 126 iterations. It also crashes if there is no matching names. It doesn't crash if the first part isn't a correct, existing command. For example, it doesn't crash if you tab-complete '/' or 'an-unexisting-command /'. Let me know if you need any other details or if you cannot reproduce the problem. I could debug it on my machine. Cheers Marcin
