[Bug 660613] Re: COMP_WORDS bad array subscript in python completion

[Nicolas Krzywinski]

I just encountered this on my server, which is debian with bash
4.1.5(1)-release, python 2.6.6 and kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64

But it works with calling the python cmd only:
python /etc/ba<TAB>sh_completion.d/

Exploit:
/usr/bin/python /etc/ba<TAB>-bash: COMP_WORDS: Falscher Feldbezeichner.
sh

Notice: it does not matter what the path is

Since this is the only bug I found for this (german spelled) error
message, I am posting here, though I encountered it NOT on Ubuntu, but
Debian.
