suddenly lost tab-completion on root dir


Hello,

I'm having a strange behavior in my cygwin bash shell. I've tried to search the web for answers without any luck.

The thing is that after some changes (don't recall what I was doing, probably updating a package) I lost my tab-completion on the root dir (/). If I hit tab on anything in this dir it doesn't complete or give a list of options in ambigous cases. The strange thing is that it does do it in the all other directories.

For example, it won't tab-complete:
  /  -> listing of possibilities
  /u -> /usr
but it will tab-complete:
  /usr/    -> listing of possibilities
  /usr/lo  -> /usr/local

Has anyone experienced something similar? or something comes to mind as the possible cause of the problem? I have updated the packages that I have installed; and I can't afford a complete reinstall at the moment.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
