Note that there isn't any matching file that actually has three hyphens; those are standing in for "-.-" in the first match and "_--" in the second match. Also, the right completion would be "linux-2.4.2--s-r3", so I'm not sure how the final hyphen and the "s" are becoming transposed. } | root@wolfbrand# cd linux-2.4.2---sr3 That doesn't match where you said the cursor was. Did you move the cursor to the right before pressing TAB, or should that have said root@wolfbrand# cd linux-2.4.2---sr3 ?? If I understand correctly, you were expecting this to take you into menu completion cycling between the two previous matches. I confess I don't know why it does not, except that it may be related to the transposed "s". } These are my completion settings: [1] and [2]. It'd be a little easier to work with these if they didn't have the ascii art border. As it is it's not possible to cut'n'paste them into a shell to duplicate your setup. I do notice that you're not using the _oldlist completer. You might try adding that to the front of your list of completers and see if it helps.
