The behavior was changed....  I'm guessing this is due to offering to show 4000+
possibilities a bit useless.  However, you can type a single letter + tab and get the
commands listed that start with that letter.

I'm taking a SWAG, but you'd probably have to edit
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion to get the old behavior back.
