[Bug 1111516] [NEW] bash-completion freezes when using tar --strip-components

[Alexandre BELLONI]

Public bug reported:

When using bash and typing:

tar --strip-components=2 <tab>

bash-completion doesn't seem to return and the command line is frozen.
C-c allows to resume to bash.

I also tried --mtime with the same result. It seems something is wrong
with that case in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/tar.
