1.7.9 cygwin bash completion doesn't response

[sun]

hi all,

I got the bash completion problem which is very upset me, following is
an example:
in my home directory, there is a file : pkf

if I want to vi the file and I type :

vi pk(press tab)

but there is no response or it's very slow, but in some cases like say
when I vi the *.cpp files the tab completion works.

This may be related to /etc/bash_completion, but I'm not familiar with
it and can anyone help to let my bash completion works fine.

thanks,
sun

Press tab twice if the expansion is not unique. 

You do not need bash completion package for filename completion.
Uninstall the package and observe whether it gets better.

Expect filename completion to be slow on slow drives. Includes some network
drives and some external drives.

Completion can be very slow in directories with large number of files.

If anything of that does not hep, try following the rules from
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
Output of ' cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out 2>&1 '  and OS version might
give some information.

And it can be very slow in directories where previously WAS large number of
files, 
although they are already deleted. Applies mainly to FAT filesystem.
