it appears that zsh relies on a certain behavior of strncmp that has changed in
the latest glibc, causing it to SIGSEGV on some filename completions. attaching
a patch that fixes this for me.

Mamoru, please have a look - you might want to do it soonish, as -r9 is already
stable on a few arch's ...
