Are you using "set -o emacs" or "set -o vi" ?
What command(s) are you using for file completion?
My bet is still that Debian is doing something fishy/tricky with
an alias or maybe with a source code patch.
Those pesky Linux releases all try to be unique, special snowflakes.
On the Debian, I bet that you can enter the number and get the command,
right?
I'll look more in the (BSD) source code once I know more what you're
using (set -o emacs or set -o vi). The relevant files seem to be
/usr/src/bin/ksh/emacs.c and ..../vi.c
I've seen that numbered stuff somewhere else, a long time ago.
Can't recall where, might have been on Linux or even something like
Ultrix or some SYSV system.
