AJ, thanks for tracking down this problem.

Chet, thanks for reviewing AJ's patch.

Corinna, attached is AJ's patch redone with a call to spctabnl() but
without the unknown fix to skip_to_delim().  Nevertheless, Cygwin bash
2.05a, with this patch, can now handle completion specs.  Would you be
willing to release a new bash 2.05a with this patch?

Thanks,
Jason
