When I say "restored", I mean *restored*.  What it gives after my patch is

% echo '*'

Not * or \*.  (Actually, I'm fibbing.  With "'*'" it would give "\\*"
because there's no embedded newline.  With "'*\n'" it gives "'*\n'".
Which is exactly what it gave before my patch, in the case where the
completion fails.)

} using single_line_zle.

Well, that could be easily caught, too, and calling pushlineoredit could
be skipped in all cases if wb >= chl.  (For confused zsh-workers, I sent
one more patch only to Zoltan, which would automatically pushlineoredit
when completion may have modified something across an embedded newline.)

However, you're right that it's not that big a deal.  Could we at least
put a `feep();' before `return;' inside the `if (wb < 0 || ...)' so that
it doesn't seem that zsh is sitting there doing nothing?
