I'm here on encouragement of the crash report in my ipython shell.

I had an object (a compiled regular expression) and I tried to use tab complete to remind myself of syntax and ipython crashed. This may well have to do with the fact that the current working dir has hundreds of thousands of files, since the stack trace went back to this part of the glob module in python 2.6

55 try:
---> 56 names = os.listdir(dirname)
57 except os.error:
58 return []

I'll try to attach the crash report...
