Ouch, right.  I hadn't realised that it tries to complete parameters
even if only local-directories are selected.

As a quick fix, you can add a small completion function for `c.', like this:

  c. () {
        setopt localoptions nocdablevars
        local CDPATH

        cd "$@"
  }
  _c.() {
        setopt localoptions nocdablevars
        local CDPATH

        _cd "$@"
  }
  compdef _c. c.
  zstyle ':completion:*:*:c.:*' tag-order local-directories

Note that the compdef line changed.


Whoever wrote that code in _cd should probably start re-thinking it (and
I don't think it was me this time).
