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?
