New style completion bug when ctrl-C pressed

[martin.ebourne@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

There appears to be a bug in the new style completion system whereby if you
abort the completion with Ctrl-C (as I often do if the machine is not
readily responding) it doesn't clear up after itself properly.

I have automenu disabled so the only time completion starts cycling through
a list of alternatives is if the approximate completer returns results.
However, sometimes after I've aborted a completion it somehow leaves
automenu on such that from then on all completions automatically cycle.

The cause would appear to be that a shell function is at some point
temporarily defined to override the builtin compadd - and this gets left
around. If I undefine it then normal service is resumed.

I've looked through the mailing lists, changelog, and even diffed the
completion functions against 4.0.1-pre-2 and didn't spot anything related
to this. I haven't tried running anything more recent than 3.1.9-dev-8
though (due to time).

I'm not on this list, so please CC me in any followups (especially fixes!).

Cheers,

Martin.
