Re: Avoid LDAP hit during completion

[Chris wong <chris_wong@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the quick reply, Ryan.

My $fpath has the standard value pointing to 
/usr/share/zsh/site-functions /usr/share/zsh/4.1.1/functions

cd is not aliased or redefined in any way.

I should have been more clear about it.  It doesn't just happen to cd, 
it happened to ls and any other commands that trigger file/dir 
completion.  Just a few minutes ago, I noticed that it doesn't 
necessarily happen at the first time of completion.

My zsh is running on Mac OS X 10.3 and the LDAP directory service it's 
hitting is Active Directory.
