There's two problems with this for general use (as pointed out by Ian
himself):  it puts multiple hostnames into a single completion item, and
it includes wild-carded items as hostnames.  I patched the function like
this:

--- Completion/Unix/Command/_ssh	18 Nov 2005 14:53:44 -0000	1.25
+++ Completion/Unix/Command/_ssh	18 Nov 2005 17:22:39 -0000

   if [[ -r "$HOME/.ssh/config" ]]; then
-    local IFS=$'\t ' key host
-    while read key host; do
+    local IFS=$'\t ' key hosts host
+    while read key hosts; do
       if [[ "$key" == (#i)host ]]; then

       fi
     done < "$HOME/.ssh/config"
     if (( ${#config_hosts} )); then

There may well be a non-looping way to do that, so feel free to
enlighten me if there is.
