This took a while to figure out. How to reproduce:
You need a directory with .rpm files in it. Let's call that
/foo/bar/. Then,
emacs -q
M-x shell RET
rpm --install /foo/bar/<TAB>
where <TAB> is you pressing the TAB key. I get this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable regexp)
signal(void-variable (regexp))
completion--some...
completion--nth-completion...
completion-try-completion...
completion--do-completion()
minibuffer-complete()
call-interactively(minibuffer-complete)
...
apply...
...
completion-in-region...
completion-at-point()
call-interactively(completion-at-point nil nil)
Very tricky to track down. I think it's in the pcomplete code.
Specifically, it appears that it has something to do with this
pcomplete-dirs-or-entries in pcomplete.el, since I see that code on
the stack at the point of error.
If you omit the "rpm" part of the input, it does not happen.
Good luck with this one!

Actually, the above is not true. Any directory at all.
