I was referring to that mail. The two lines I quoted are from 
/etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh

I just figured I need to comment out those two lines for the bug to go 
away for me. It is my understanding, that acroread is not run, it is just 
the file that handles completions for lines starting with

$ acroread ...

But the bug occurs also for

$ ls /e[TAB]

as this is wrongly completed to

$ ls /etc[SPACE]

rather than

$ ls /etc/

I would be surprised if the bug is not in those two lines somehow but in 
acroread itself.

Just my $.02

Robert
