Thats true. For 2 or 3 yrs i use debian Zsh with upstream completion
funcs from git. Had been working all this time w/o problems through all
this time so far.

The point i took time to write this bugreport is, comparguments seems to
be more pigy about the count of arguments then i am.

If this changes with rebuild feel free to close this report.
I am not a great hacker at all, but this seem fishy at all if that == true.

Thank you for maintaing Zsh.



kind regards,
