Thank you for your report.  If this behavior was being caused by the
system then it should be fixed.  This bug obviously has nothing to do
with either dd or coreutils and therefore shouldn't be assigned there.
I have reassigned it to the closest existing match bash-completion
although I don't believe this to be a bug in bash-completion either.
But the experts for debugging bash completion problems reside there.

I am unable to recreate this bug.  I am thinking it must be due to
something on your individual system or in your individual
environment.  To debug I would verify that it isn't caused by
something in your .profile, .bash_profile, or .bashrc files.  I would
either comment out or move the entire files out of the way for a test
to verify that the contents thereof are not affecting things.

Have you tried this using a pristine user account?  Try that.  Create
a new user.  Log into the new account as that user.  Then perform the
test case again.  Does it behave correctly or incorrect?  If correctly
then you will know the problem is somewhere within your user
environment settings.  If not then that will produce a pristine
setting for a better test case.

Bob
