zle-overwrite with 4.1.0-dev-0

[jarausch]

Hi,

(I believe that) on my Linux system switching to 4.1.0-dev-0 (cvs one
week ago) I get overwrite mode (for zle) per default and switching back
to insert mode doesn't last for long.
Is there a new option?

Furthermore (I've just noticed it on my IRIX box at my office)
I cannot use   ^X* anymore to expand things like  ~-
This is with 4.0.1-pre-5 but I don't remember when it slipped in.
Any ideas?

Thanks for a hint,

No.  Hm, I've got no idea where the problem might be, I've never seen
something like that myself.

Oops.  That was caused by your humble code-messer-upper. Ahem.

We have to copy that string for normal expansion, too, otherwise the
test on line 790 will succeed and the command line will be restored.


Apologies for posting a patch to -users.  This will go into the
development branch and 4.0.2.
