The definition of eshell-cmpl-load-hook includes eshell-cmpl-initialize, which is ignored if user has something like: (add-hook 'eshell-cmpl-load-hook ...) in their .emacs. And without eshell-cmpl-initialize, TAB in eshell inserts the TAB char instead of completing commands, rendering the shell broken. I think this is a bug. If eshell-cmpl-initialize must be called, please move it to the right place. It seems to me it is unsafe putting it in eshell-cmpl-load-hook. BTW, although I've found eshell very powerful and used it daily, sadly it is also buggy. I have learnt to ignore most of them. For example, sometimes when I hit TAB the eshell buffer suddenly disappears and the completion window is shown instead. Sometimes when I use mouse to scroll down the completion window brought up by eshell, it disappears too.
