Sometimes, weird things happen to command lines. 

Example:

$ ls -l download.s_E6Re
... huge listing, instead of just the one file ...
bash: --color=auto: command not found
$

This happens rarely (and, AFAICT, randomly), but only when
bash-completion-lib (/etc/bash_completion_lib/bash_completion_lib) has
been sourced.

I'm filing this as grave because splitting command lines like that can
easily lead to very bad things, like data loss (for example, losing -i
on rm) or exposing data that needs to remain secret (losing --exclude on
tar). Also, my brother has seen this on Ubuntu (karmic) as well, so its
not just my system (or even just Debian).
