I don't personally use `dircolors'; it doesn't appear on my system.
Are you saying that this portion of the original report
$ tail -1 dircolors_nodot
readline-colored-completion-prefix 0;36
$ dircolors $_
dircolors: dircolors_nodot:63: unrecognized keyword
readline-colored-completion-prefix
needed the `*' before the prefix text?
If so, then it's pretty clearly user error, and I can revert the
change.
