I've no Idea if the expansion of something like “ls /a/b/c<tab>” to
“ls /aaaaa/bbbbbb/cccccc/” is related to this code, but it seems to
have zero impact there: I'm still unable to interrupt the horribly
slow expansion using ctrl+c.

Before (zsh from a few weeks ago):
Killed by signal in  after 5s

After (zsh of right now + the above suggested modification):
Killed by signal in _path_files after 5s

…but I don't get my prompt back.

Best regards,
