Description Timo Myyrä 2008-12-08 11:41:45 UTC
Pdksh tab completion doesn't espace shell special characters. 
If I have directory with space on it and use tab completion on it, it will expand the file name but won't escape the space on it which results in failure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create dir with space on it
2. Use pdksh tab completion on it

Actual Results:  
Pdksh entered the dir name as its printed on screen

Expected Results:  
Pdksh should have entered the dir name and escaping any special characters on it.

But looks like net-analyzer/FlowScan and sci-biology/staden-bin depend on it, CCing their maintainers to confirm this dep cannot be avoided in any way

FlowScan was removed from tree recently, removing netmon@ from CC
