Segfault in completion code

Steps to reproduce:

  % unset IFS
  % <try to perform any type of completion>
  zsh: segmentation fault  zsh

Verified on several systems and versions:

  zsh 4.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
  zsh 4.0.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
  zsh 4.0.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6)

I know that the zsh manual doesn't make any promises as to what
happens when IFS is unset, but I assumed it would be okay since
bash explicitly allows it.  Regardless, segfaulting over it seems
a bit harsh, so I would guess it's a bug. :-)
