Directoryname completion started from '.' appends blank to direct ory name (GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1), Cygwin 1.3.12, Win2000)

[Jan Bruun Andersen, EDS Denmark AS]

Description:
	Specifying the path to a program using dir-name completion
	from the working directory causes Bash to append a blank.

Repeat-By:
	Administrator@DKCNW1700049 ~
	$ mkdir somedir<ENTER>

	Administrator@DKCNW1700049 ~
	$ ./so<TAB>
	$ ./somedir <ENTER>		<== Expands to "./somedir ".
	bash: ./somedir: is a directory

	Administrator@DKCNW1700049 ~
	$ /bi<TAB>
	$ /bin/			<== Correct: "/" is added.

This is with "GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)" in
vi-mode. Installing "GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(3)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)"
fixes the problem.
