complist bug and PATCH: spelling

[Oliver Kiddle]

The menu selection doesn't seem to be working. I get:

SELECTMIN=0
cd <tab><tab>    -- menu selection doesn't start
echo $SELECTMIN
9999999          -- and SELECTMIN has been messed up

My second, unrelated point is that the plural of index is indices, not
indexes. This patch fixes that, hopefully without messing up too many
people's zstyles.

Only for in the mathematical sense.  Compilers of indexes (for books) are
quite particular that the plural is regular in that case, unlike the
English language in any *@!!* case.
