Did so, and the 'tab' autocompletion worked correctly.

Tried an 'exit', back into regular 'zsh', without 'autoload' and without
'compinit', and the bug was back.  

Therefore the bug, (or one or more buggy or corrupted config file), is
persistent on my system, unless specifically tweaked.

Purged 'zsh' as 'root'.  Then as user, ran 'rm ~/.zsh*'.  Reinstalled
'zsh', picked the default sysadmin config settings option.  Now the 'tab' completion just works.

Meanwhile, a test from my 1/2/09 post (in this thread):

	if I do:
	
		ls --n<TAB>
	
	'zsh' auto-completes this as:
	
		ls --n-g

That bug's still there, which I shall open as a new bug.

The main problem seems to be solved.  Thanks for the help!
