Chet,

I've been thinking about what you've said below... that bash is waiting for input. If this were the case, ctrl-c would return to the bash prompt immediately. Yes? What I'm seeing is that with a partial filename entered followed by the tab key is hit which results in nothing due to an uninterriputible sleep. Ctrl-c does not stop the filename completion process.

Does this make any sense?

George...

If it's in pselect, it's waiting for input. It's probably not performing
completion at all. It may have read the directory, found no common prefix
for the files it found, `rang' the visible bell, and gone back to waiting
to read the next input character.
