Facts: Bash 1.03, Sun3 SunOS 4.0.3.

Since we have over 1100 users (yp) username completion takes some
time. If I break while the completion is running, I get an error the
next time I try a completion:

	bash$ ls ~per<M-?>   			< takes about 30 sec >
	~perf  ~perh  ~pers
	bash$ ls ~per<M-?><^C>   		< break after a few seconds >
	bash$ ls ~per				< try again >
	free: Called with already freed block argument
	mailing bug report...

If I put all users in my local /etc/passwd, I can't reproduce the
problem.
