Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash

see http://www.nabble.com/Fwd%3A-Problem-with-bash-completion-
tt16019987.html (initial message pasted below)

this happens to me (and i'm pretty sure that in a different scenario
than the one described below) and is very annoying. can you please
update the bash package to the one where this bug doesn't happen?

Subject: Problem with bash completion

Sometimes bash gets confused and starts adding a slash at the end of
files when I do tab-completion. Here's a simple reproduction script:

~ > bash --noprofile --norc -i
bash-3.2$ mkdir /tmp/bash-problem
bash-3.2$ cd /tmp/bash-problem
bash-3.2$ mkdir d
bash-3.2$ touch x
bash-3.2$ chmod 755 x
bash-3.2$ ./x                <---- tab after x completes correctly
bash-3.2$ ./d/               <---- ditto with d
bash: ./d/: is a directory
bash-3.2$ "$(ls ./d/)"       <---- pressed tab after d
bash: : command not found
bash-3.2$ ./x/               <---- tab after x now adds slash

Once the shell starts doing this, it keeps doing it. Restarting bash
solves the problem.
