Sorry, I was half-asleep yesterday.  Of course it was CDPATH and not 
bash-completion.

Based on a shell I used years ago that had built-in functionality similar to
CDPATH, I naïvely *assumed* CDPATH would only impact interactive shells.

Not quite my case, but assumptions are dangerous things.  Based on my 
assumption, I intentionally exported CDPATH so it would propagate when
I "xterm&".  Grr, I guess I'll have to alias xterm instead.

Thanks for the enlightenment gentlemen.

Yet another reason I like "git reset --hard HEAD" for stupid patch removal.

Now if there was a "reset --hard HEAD" function for some people I've met...

Thanks,
