No matches for: `file' or `remote files'

This is coming from _remote_files where it does (in a _wanted call):

    $(ssh -a -x ${words[CURRENT]%:*} echo ${words[CURRENT]#*:}\*)

The message appears repeatedly because this gets tried once by each
function in your completer style.

The right thing appears to be to put 2>/dev/null inside the $(...).
But there will still be a problem if you have to type a password to get
ssh access to the remote host.  It'd be nice if `zle redisplay' or the
equivalent would work from inside a completion widget.
