RE: bash 2.05b-7 and command line tab completion

["Harig, Mark A." <maharig at idirect dot net>]

I can't tell whether this bug (tab-completion
adding a space when it is used for the first
word after the prompt) is Cygwin-specific, or
if it was added with bash 2.05.  My two versions
of bash running on Linux are 2.04.  Neither of
them have this bug.  Does someone have another
(non-Cygwin) bash 2.05 that can test this
behavior?
