I've just reproduced it again on my laptop, did u make a directory with the same name as above?
here is what I did: $ cd /tmp $ mkdir 2k5\ Express\ line+SPs $ 2k5\ Express\ line+SPs/<tab> And then I get the following output after waiting for a while. No matches for: `external command', `executable file or directory', `builtin command', `shell function', `alias', `suffix alias', `reserved word', `job', `parameter', `directory after cdablevar', or `corrections' Note: it's not an infinite loop but rather 100% CPU usage by zsh for around 30 seconds $ apt-cache policy zsh zsh: Installed: 4.3.10-5ubuntu1 Candidate: 4.3.10-5ubuntu1 Ubuntu 9.10 ** Summary changed: - Infinite loop in completion with certain characters in folder name + Problem in completion with certain characters in folder name ** Description changed: $ apt-cache policy zsh zsh: - Installed: 4.3.6-4ubuntu1 - Candidate: 4.3.6-4ubuntu1 - Version table: + Installed: 4.3.6-4ubuntu1 + Candidate: 4.3.6-4ubuntu1 + Version table: - When using auto completion to list files in directories with certain - characters, zsh enters an infinite loop and uses 100% CPU(50% to be - precise as I have 2 cores) and has to be killed, I haven't exactly found - out the problematic characters but I've got a reproducible case. + When using auto completion to list files in directories with certain characters, zsh enters a loop and uses 100% CPU(50% to be precise as I have 2 cores) for a while, almost 30 seconds on Desktop + I haven't exactly found out the problematic characters but I've got a reproducible case.
