} Mainly just curious why there is a difference.
Because zsh isn't ls. Zsh doesn't invoke ls to generate the completion
listing, it uses its own filename-generation (globbing) routines and
computes the columns itself.
Try `setopt list_packed'. If that doesn't make a difference, then there
may be something wrong with the "packing" code that we need to look at.
