OK, but before $userdirs has been accessed, `hash -dL` outputs nothing
but the dirs I hashed myself. Normally, after doing `cd ~username`
exactly one entry is added to hash -dL's output. However, after
$userdirs has been accessed (as, for example, happens, when the
completion function _users has been called), the output is now
populated with ~120 usernames I don't want or need.

The same happens if I `hash -df`. Why would "rebuilding" this hash
table result in entries that weren't there in the first place? What is
the reasoning behind this?
