In the latest build of Emacs 22.0.50.3 from CVS, the spacebar is no longer
bound to minibuffer-complete-word, but to ordinary self-insert-command.
Is this intentional or a bug?
This happens even when invoked with no startup file, "emacs -q".
This is on SUSE Linux 9.1:
Linux myhost 2.6.5-7.252-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 14 11:11:04 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

From etc/NEWS:
| ** When Emacs prompts for file names, SPC no longer completes the file
name.
| This is so filenames with embedded spaces could be input without the
| need to quote the space with a C-q. The underlying changes in the
| keymaps that are active in the minibuffer are described below under
| "New keymaps for typing file names".
...
| *** New keymaps for typing file names
|
| Two new keymaps, `minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map' and
| `minibuffer-local-must-match-filename-map', apply whenever
| Emacs reads a file name in the minibuffer. These key maps override
| the usual binding of SPC to `minibuffer-complete-word' (so that file
| names with embedded spaces could be typed without the need to quote
| the spaces).
