Every once in a while, bash seems to forget either what the current directory is or where to look for files when I try to use <TAB> to complete a filename. E.g: lindholm@kynok$ pwd /usr/local/printer/lpd2 lindholm@kynok$ ls a.ps gf@ of@ script@ script~* cf@ if@ pr@ script.pl* tf@ df@ nf@ rf@ script.sh* vf@ lindholm@kynok$ emacs script<TAB><TAB> gives me /usr/ucb/script rather than a listing of the files in my current directory. I don't know what I do to get myself in this state but it is very frustrating. Any ideas on how I can reset my state (without having to exit the shell)?
