similar problems for about a year in my .zshrc, which prints a welcome
message parsing the output of `uname -n`; this is running 3.1.4 zsh on solaris
2.5.1, and 3.0.5 on solaris 2.6.
it seems like everyone is having problems only during the sourcing of
startup files. has anyone had this happen during an interactive shell, after
startup?
