ncftp-3.0beta18/   tcl8.0.3/          wget-1.5.3/

In other words, all files with ``3'' in them are taken. And menu starts
immediately.

I think, if user explicitly gives glob pattern, he probably knows what he's
doing. I noted this, when I tried to change to a directory; there were three
dirs:
SIN3C1 SIN3C2 SIN3C3 - and I wanted to select exactly one (the last) but got
all three.

And another problem with _cd (I think)

itsrm2% cd s/*3TAB
   Beep

Ahem ... I'd expect it to complete to src/whatever

itsrm2% cd *3TAB  (they are all in /tools/src)
itsrm2% cd autoconf-2.13
autoconf-2.13      samba-2.0.3        tk8.0.3            zsh-3.1.5-pws-12
mc-4.5.13          sendmail-8.9.3     top-3.4
ncftp-3.0beta18    tcl8.0.3           wget-1.5.3

I get the same names and menu starts immediately (that's due to _path_files
I think) but they are not marked with slash (and no autoremoved slash
either)

cheers
