1.5.19: pdksh 5.2.14-3 tab-complete and shell metacharacters

[Svend Sorensen <ssorensen at gmail dot com>]

When I use pdksh to expand the name of a file with spaces or other
shell metachars in it, the filename is expanded without escaping the
metacharacters.

On cygwin:

$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
$ touch 'now & later'
$ ls now                                 # hit [Tab]
$ ls now & later

On NetBSD:

$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
$ touch 'now & later'
$ ls now                                 # hit [Tab]
$ ls now\ \&\ later

The pdksh version strings are identical.
