I've had minor issues with sh(1) for years, but have always been able to work around them.

If you need to : log in to such a system, the additions will likely be useful, as there : may not be any other shell on the system. The completion code is fairly : small compared to the rest of libedit. How big are both of these parts? libedit is ~110k on my amd64 box. How big is the completion code you've added? A few k is likely worth it, but 50k likely is starting to be not worth it. I'd be happy to work with you on knobs here. Warner
