This appeared to work initially, but now completion for "cd" doesn't
work beyond the first directory level:

With expand-or-complete-prefix:

% cd /etc/[TAB]

produces no matches.

With expand-or-complete, it works fine:

% cd /etc/[TAB]
acct/      fn/        lp/        rc2.d/     snmp/
cron.d/    fs/        mail/      rc3.d/     tm/
default/   http/      net/       rcS.d/     uucp/
dfs/       inet/      openwin/   saf/
dhcp/      init.d/    opt/       security/
dmi/       lib/       rc0.d/     skel/
dt/        log@       rc1.d/     ski/

I'm using the simple completion

compctl -g '*(-/)' cd

Is this a bug?

Thanks,

Steve
