zsh 4.0.1 _man bug

zsh 4.0.1 _man bug

[Max Ischenko]

When completing man pages with _man, I got the error -- alpha suffixes
not removed from the end:

man 2 io<TAB> -> man 2 ioctl
man n listb<TAB> -> man n listbox.n




Does anyone have a fix for this?

Try 4.0.2 ... the _man completion function was significantly improved.

Actually, it had the same bug, which is fixed in the new _man function
(included below for your convenience, it should work with 4.0.1, too).

Thank you, it works fine.
Just a little question -- how should I install this version of _man,
assuming that I don't have root permissions on the machine?

You can always put it into one of your own function directories and make
sure that directory is earlier in you $fpath than the system
directories.  The completion system will than take care to prefer your
version over the globally installed one.
