+
+The following are known bugs with the bash completion code. See also the
+KNOWN PROBLEMS section of the README file.
+
+- sudo completion goes awry when a command line contains wildcards
+
+ The problem arises because sudo needs to hand off completion duties to
+ the function bound to the command that it is told to execute. As part of
+ this process, any arguments on the command line are expanded.
+
+ Suppose you have the following command line:
+
+ $ sudo mv *.txt foo/
+
+ This command line contains four tokens, of which '*.txt' is the third.
+ However, after expansion of the wildcard, there may be any number of
+ arguments in the command-line that is ultimately handed to mv.
+
+ Note: this bug is believed to be fixed as of the 20030501 release
