>Description:
	ksh does not complete names with square brackets in them properly.
	This only happens when two files in the same directory have "similar"
	names, that is, they share a prefix which can be completed in two
	different ways.
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ touch a.[b].1
	$ touch a.[b].2
	$ ls aTAB
	(see how it completes the name until a.[b]. and stops there).
	$ ls a.\[b\]TAB
	(this fails too).
	$ rm a.\[b\].2
	$ ls aTAB
	(and see how it completes the name properly).
>Fix:
	I tried adding [] to the list of characters to be escaped, and while
	ksh will add the backslash, completion will fail.
