Thanks for the quick reply. I just tested that patch, and it does indeed fix the bug. The distribution I'm using is only up to version 4.2.24, unfortunately, so I'll have to wait to get a working dirspell option again under bash 4.2. So just to verify: there's no way in bash 4.2.0 through 4.2.28 to make dirspell work correctly? The only fix is the direxpand option? - John
