From: Eric Hanchrow <offby1 <at> blarg.net>
To: emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org
Subject: 23.0.60; comint-dynamic-complete doesn't complete name of executable in current directory
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 09:25:43 -0700

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I started emacs  -Q -nw
I typed M-x shell RET
In the shell, I typed cd ~/kits/CoziExampleTest/ RET
  (that directory contains an executable file named test.py)
In the shell I typed ./te TAB
I expected to see emacs insert the rest of the file name, so that the final line read ./test.py.
Instead, nothing happened.
Note, however, that when I typed "ls ./te TAB", completion _did_ work: I saw "ls ./test.py"

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs-with-my-tweaks.git/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
