It seems to be broken entirely, in all areas, as Brian notes:

core show <tab>
core <tab>
iax2 <tab>
?

etc., etc. - all these examples fail with the same plaintive "bonk" 
noise that my console burps up when Asterisk is not happy. 
Additionaly, it does cause some functionality problems in an obscure 
way since I don't know of any way to get a full SIP channel name 
other than via tab completion - other methods truncate the name ("sip 
show channels" doesn't provide a full channel name, so I can't 
cut/paste to "sip show channel blah-320932" for debugging.)
