Not exactly sure how to strace this. It's not like I'm running another 
process, rather I'm just hitting the tab key in bash. I tried strace 
bash then, after tons of probably uninteresting output I start my "test" 
by typing ls sym then tab. Nothing happens.

Well it's just a symlink to /etc/passwd:

$ ls -l symlinked_file    
lrwxrwxrwx    1 adefaria Domain U      115 Sep 11 18:51 symlinked_file 
-> /etc/passwd

thoughts", and you put your
two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
