[Bug 1426107] [NEW] Shell lockup with on tab completion of tar with --acls option

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Bash completion causes the shell to lockup when completing command lines
for the TAR command. The following sequence of commands shows the
problem:

# starting in an empty directory
mkdir foo
touch foo/bar
touch foo/bak
tar -cvf foo.tar <tab>
tar --acls -cvf foo.tar <tab>

After the last tab the shell is locked up permanently and is no longer
usable. This only seems to happen when the --acls option is specified,
though it may affect others too (I have only tried --acls).
