Hi,

It's been some time since I wanted to track this bug down and finally took the
time to do it.

Supposing you have a remote host with a file in the home directory that begins
with a dash, the completion may fail because the file argument is interpreted
by ls as an option.

See the attached patch, which adds a -- before the pattern, so that files
starting with a dash won't possibly be considered as options.  This is the way
to go with a GNU ls on the other side, but I don't know how other versions
will interpret that.  Maybe something more sophisticated has to be done to
remain as generic as possible.
