Re: Avoid LDAP hit during completion

[lists <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bart, this may be true, but I've used OS X 10.3 workstations bound to  
an LDAP domain containing 2000+ users and haven't seen problems like  
this unless I do something like 'chown<TAB>'.  Odd that Chris would  
run into it and I wouldn't if it were strictly due to user lookups.   
Chris, Peter's suggestions (adding xtrace to _comp_setup) sounds like  
a good thing to try.
