This also bites me from time to time when I cut-and-paste a
command from an editor window into a bash terminal window. If
the line that I cut-and-paste happens to begin with a tab
character, then I get a message
Display all 3110 possibilities? (y or n)
and readline continues to interpret the rest of the line, so if
the line contains 'y' or a space before the first 'n' I get at
least one screenful of completions.
It's mildly annoying.
