Maybe this isn't a bug but a misfeature :-)

When I want to cp a file from /usr/spool/uucppublic to another dir:

cp ~uu<tab>

bash 1.03 expands this to:

"cp ~uucp "

please note the space behind the uucp !!!

It should expand it to:

"cp ~uucp/"

Am I right that this is a bug ? This happens only by user expansion.
