Bug description:

  After confirming a command found by Ctrl-R with Tab, if it starts with
  sudo, the command supplied is wrong, and there are error messages on
  the console.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Run "sudo echo test command" for it to be in the history.
  2. Press Ctrl-R, type "sudo ec", press Tab.
  3. Press Enter.

  Expected results:
  $ sudo echo test command
  test command
  $

  Actual results:
  After (2):
  $ bash: $COMP_POINT: substring expression < 0
  bash: $COMP_POINT: substring expression < 0
  bash: COMP_WORDS: bad array subscript
