Bug Description
Binary package hint: bash-completion
Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64
Package Version: 1.872
Case: Using tab completion to fill a file that you have every reason to want to use but the people who wrote the list of approved completions don't think you should be able to perform without manual editing of the config.
Method: Hold the tab key down while yelling profanities. (The yelling is optional)
Result: Your terminal window disappears after about 5 seconds.
Example:
$ touch blah.scd
$ ls
blah.scd
$ unzip [YOU'RE HOLDING TAB HERE.....]
*POOF!*

I confirm this happens to me under the same conditions using .Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 8.10 (32-bit). Also I attempted this on a Ubuntu 8.04.01 machine and the same issue occurred.
