Hi workers,

please try this script:

    function f
    {
       read "dat?What: "
       print -u2 "dat=$dat"
    }

    print $ZSH_VERSION
    P=aha
    vared P
    print "P=$P"
    W=$(f)

The prompt "What: " in the read command isn't shown. This
only happens after a preceding 'vared'. If you comment out
the 'vared' line, it works. 
The bug is in zsh-3.1.9 ... 3.1.9-dev-4.

Regards,
Bernd
