Well. Okay.

I'll need the *exact* command line you're using with the exact point
where the cursor is at upon hitting TAB. E.g.:

  % ls foo<tab>

Also, I'd like to know which version of `ls' you're using there:

  % ls --version

Also, I need to see the code of your `_ls' completer:

  % cat ${^fpath}/_ls(N)

With that I might be able to see what's going on.  If not, I might have
further questions. :)

Regards, Frank
