By applying the patch below.

Please name them, because...

...of course, we (w.r.t. the completion code: I) tried to keep the old
behavior, but there were a lot of changes in the code needed for the
new features (and there are many of them) and so I didn't manage to do
so in some cases.

Again: if you find things that behave differently now, and if the
change isn't a good thing, please let us know and I'll attempt to fix
it.


As for your other message: I need some more help here since I can't
reproduce it. Can you complete the names that don't appear in the
list? By giving an unambiguous prefix? Only with menucompletion? This
is NextStep (right?): did you get any compiler warnings in
Zle/zle_tricky.c? (Weird question, but I have no idea how what you
described can happen...)


The patch: it's do_single() again, failing to build the expanded path
for the parameter just completed.
