Title:
  Shell lockup with on tab completion of tar with --acls option

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Bash completion causes the shell to lockup when completing command
  lines for the TAR command. The following sequence of commands shows
  the problem:

  # starting in an empty directory
  mkdir foo
  touch foo/bar
  touch foo/bak
  tar -cvf foo.tar <tab>
  tar --acls -cvf foo.tar <tab>

  After the last tab the shell is locked up permanently and is no longer
  usable. This only seems to happen when the --acls option is specified,
  though it may affect others too (I have only tried --acls).
