It may be... although I'm not sure.

Both `r:[^A-Z0-9]||[A-Z0-9]=*' and `r:[^0-9]||[0-9]=*' doesn't seem to 
make much sense, does it?

That's bad news: not always repeatable. I've tried it for quite some
time now and still can't reproduce it. I'll continue to try...

The fact that you don't always get it makes me think that it may be a
problem with an not-initialised variable or memory block. Do you have
configured with mem-debug?

What really irritates me is that it doesn't go into menu-completion on 
the second TAB. Hm.
