} I couldn't get it to seg-fault, but there was something broken. Matching 
} of the suffix, for example, and that both in C and shell code.

It doesn't dump for me any more, but I'm still nervous about line 1767 of
compcore.c:

#1  0x80bd798 in addmatches (dat=0xbfffa854, argv=0xbfffa8d8)
    at ../../../zsh-3.1.6/Src/Zle/compcore.c:1768
1768                if ((ml = match_str(lsuf, s, &bsl, 0, NULL, 1, 0, 1)) >= 0) {
(gdb) l 
1763                    else
1764                        *argv = NULL;
1765                    bcp = lpl;
1766                }
1767                s = dat->psuf ? dat->psuf : "";
1768                if ((ml = match_str(lsuf, s, &bsl, 0, NULL, 1, 0, 1)) >= 0) {
1769                    if (matchsubs) {
1770                        Cline tmp = get_cline(NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, CLF_SUF);
1771
1772                        tmp->suffix = matchsubs;

The reported core dump was caused because match_str() wrote a '\0' byte into
the string pointed to by its second argument [`s' above, `w' in match_str()]
which is being passed as a string constant when dat->psuf == 0.  Is that a
potential bug, still?
