Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
i try this:
open gnome-terminal, then type "scp xx[TAB]" to copy file xxtestfile.file to a 
remote server. as soon as i hit the Tab-key gnome-terminal dies ie gets 
unresponsive.
if i type the filename correctly without hitting The Tab-key it works fine. 

this only happens if bash_completion is ENABLED in ~/.bashrc.
