If all one could do with the quoted section was read it, they'd be fine. [I wrote]: } > I do notice that you're not using the _oldlist completer.

Although } } * I cannot see where I am "using special completion functions, i.e. } commands other than the standard completion system" You aren't; the completion system is confusing itself somehow, and the effect of _oldlist is to fool it back into doing what it should have. } * My matcher list[1] should work that way (because of the "+") I don't know if you read zsh-workers ... but someone else reported a crash with a matcher-list similar to yours, so it may be that you're tickling a bug and it's a freak of your environment that zsh goes on working anyway (or a freak of his that it crashes, who knows).
