completer.el breaks command completion?

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I've just started using completer.el (from ilisp) as included by the sample init.el. However, when completing command names at a shell prompt, it doesn't find anything e.g. for "pl" where normal completion offers a selection of commands including "play". Commenting out all the comint stuff in completer.el gives me the other benefits (Lisp and command completion such as a-f -> auto-fill-mode) without this problem, but presumably it is supposed to work? ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux mnemosyne 2.4.18-4 #1 Thu May 2 18:10:25 EDT 2002 i686 unknown ./configure '--prefix=/home/rrt' '--with-mule' XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
