More about ksh_glob and completion

["Bart Schaefer" <schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In zsh-users/3836 I wrote:

Fortunately (and somewhat embarrassingly) I'm completely (ahem) wrong about
the above.  Pre-compilation of glob patterns is not broken by kshglob; I
had tried it outside the completion system and thought I'd verified it, but
I must have done something wrong (perhaps I typed `unset' for `unsetopt')
because today I can't reproduce it.

And further, the completion system didn't turn off kshglob.  It should.  See
if this doesn't fix you up, Andre.
