#49586 new defect
bash-completion doesn't always complete in /dev/

Description
This worked previously but stopped a couple of years ago. Trying to tab to my serial cable /dev/tty.usbserial as an argument to screen doesn't work. The only thing that completes from that directory is /dev/fd/3. Completion works fine with ls however. Let me know if I can provide any further details.

The problem is that the screen completion expects a command if no other options are specified. This was introduced in an upstream commit in 2011, see also the corresponding upstream bug report that caused this change.
I just tried the same on a Debian Linux system and it behaves in the same way. This bug is not specific to MacPorts or OS X and should be taken upstream to the bash-completion developers.
