ie. consider the info near: TACC/Lmod#2 related: TACC/Lmod#144 (ie, cause might be Lmod/zsh interaction)

Just to mention, that EPEL's older Lmod/6.3.4 works fine, as regards this:

Description : Lmod is a Lua based module system that easily handles the MODULEPATH
            : Hierarchical problem.  Environment Modules provide a convenient way to
            : dynamically change the users' environment through modulefiles. This includes
            : easily adding or removing directories to the PATH environment variable.
            : Modulefiles for library packages provide environment variables that specify
            : where the library and header files can be found.

EPEL's older Lmod/6.3.4 does not work completely for us anymore, but an older 6.0.15 does. In 6.3.4 completion of commands (1st argument) works, but completion of the second argument does not work anymore. We use LMOD_REDIRECT='True' to get the output from commands like module list, module avail, etc. in STDOUT instead of STDERR, but in init/lmod_bash_completions STDOUT is hardcoded to /dev/null. Looks like this was the case in the older 6.0.15 too, but apparently the LMOD_REDIRECT environment variable was ignored for autocompletion...

@pneerincx : thanks for the above feedback, as well as the work that end up in the Lmod/6.5.8+ releases!
