Package: bash
Version: 4.3-11+b1
Severity: normal

bash is failing when i try to tab-complete on the input line:

 cat <(sort <

the error message seems to be:

bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
bash: command substitution: line 2: `sort <'

Here's me trying it from a clean shell:

0 dkg@alice:~$ env -i bash --norc
bash-4.3$ bash --version

i reported this on #bash on freenode, and koala_man said "works for me
with 4.3.11(1)-release", so it may be recently introduced somewhere.
I have also verified that it is not a problem with the version of bash
in wheezy.

I do not have the bash-completion package installed.

This may be an upstream bug -- feel free to forward it, i do not have
the bandwidth at the moment.

Thanks for maintaining bash in debian!

Regards,
