problem completing anything after directory/<TAB>

[Andre Pang <ozone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

i'm having an odd problem with completion.  best explained by
example:

    13:11 /% cd <TAB>
    completing directory
    proc/  etc/  bin/   boot/  net/  mnt2/  lost+found/  var@     cdrom/   c/  
    tmp/   lib/  sbin/  root/  usr/  mnt/   home@        initrd/  floppy/  dev/

completion works perfectly there.  however, doing this:

    13:11 /% cd usr/<TAB>
    completing `directory' or `corrections'

doesn't perform any completion whatsoever.

zsh apparently is having problems completing anything if you are
in a word which has a directory name.  (i've tried putting the
cursor inside the directory name, instead of the end, with no
difference.) this happens no matter what type of completion i
want; eg

    13:11 /% ls usr/<TAB>
    completing `files', `file', or `corrections'

doesn't work either.

i'm using the Debian zsh-beta package (full filename is
zsh-beta_4.0.0+4.0.1.pre2+0sf20010405-1_i386.deb).  i think all
this was working a few package versions ago, but it's not now. 
i thought perhaps Debian's package was bung, but i created a new
user on my system, so it has all of the system defaults, loaded
compinit, and things worked fine.

zsh details:

    13:14 /% echo $ZSH_VERSION
    4.0.1-debian0420
    13:16 /% setopt
    allexport
    autoresume
    bsdecho
    cdablevars
    correct
    correctall
    extendedglob
    extendedhistory
    noflowcontrol
    histexpiredupsfirst
    histfindnodups
    histignorealldups
    histignoredups
    histignorespace
    histnostore
    incappendhistory
    interactive
    kshglob
    listpacked
    login
    longlistjobs
    magicequalsubst
    markdirs
    monitor
    numericglobsort
    posixbuiltins
    pushdignoredups
    pushdtohome
    shinstdin
    shwordsplit
    zle

i'm not sure what other debugging information to provide, so any
pointers would be great :).  my .zcompdump file is attached, but
i'm not using anything special apart from the gizmos provided by
compinstall.

thanks for reading this far!
