Ah, I see that I was probably a bit naive (I also realized that my -3
hack only works because my command line starts with "ls ", that's
where the 3 came from :). I was operating from the assumption that the
bug only appears if you enter with "menu yes select interactive", and
not if you enter interactive mode via ctrl-r once in menu completion,
but that is probably also incorrect.
