I'm not sure if this is a false alarm, but I have another error in my original post, due to my haste in cobbling together an arbitrary example. In actuality, completion does not fail for "ls _v". It fails for "find _v". But it works for other commands like ls and find. Again, lack of completion fails only when trying to specify filenames starting with underscore as arguments to the find command. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
