This isn't working for directories for me.  After zsh-3.1.5-pws-10/ it will
complete files, but not Src.  Typing Src/ makes it complete files but not
directories down there, and so on.  Trying to do a lot in one go leaves a
space where Src should have been, and makes no change after that.

In fact, now it's stopped working altogether: zsh-<TAB> does nothing in
that position.  It's calling _multi_parts, and the list of files is right,
but nothing's coming back.  When I type zsh-3.1.5-pws-10/, I can see it
generate a list of completions with that removed, then I get this

+ orig= 
+ patstr=* 
+ [[  == */* ]]
+ eval pat="$patstr:gs.*.[^/]#."
+ pat=[^/]# 
+ tmp1=( ) 
+ ((  0  ))
+ [[ * == */* ]]
+ [[ nm -ne compstate[nmatches] ]]

and that's all I get. For trying to complete zsh-<TAB>, I get this

+ [[ / == / ]]
+ gsep=. 
+ patstr=zsh-** 
+ orig=zsh- 
+ matchflags= 
+ _match_pattern _path_files patstr matchflags
+ eval matchflags='(#l)'
+ matchflags=(#l) 
+ [[ 2 -eq 2 ]]
+ eval patstr='zsh*-**'
+ patstr=zsh*-** 
+ [[ -n  ]]
+ eval patstr=$patstr:gs-/-\*/-:gs/\*\*/\*/
+ patstr=zsh*-* 
+ pref= 
+ [[ zsh- == */* ]]
+ eval pat="$patstr:gs.*.[^/]#."
+ pat=zsh[^/]#-[^/]# 
+ tmp1=( ) 
+ ((  0  ))
+ [[ zsh*-* == */* ]]
+ [[ nm -ne compstate[nmatches] ]]

and nothing more. Is it mishandling cases with a / at the end?  But what's
happened to the listing I got before of file in zsh-3.1.5-pws-10?  I'm very
confused.
