Details

Description:
When tab completing with chgrp, the completion script only posts the available groups for the user to use instead of completing.

Additional info:
* bash-completion 1.3-2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type 'chgrp' on a bash shell
2. Hit Tab twice, a list of available groups should appear
3. Type a few characters of one of the groups
4. Hit Tab again
5. Continue until annoyed

Fix:
The problem is the /etc/bash_completion.d/coreutils script. A patch file is attached that will fix this issue.

Thanks to falconindy for figuring out the cause.
