Subject: Re: Segfault in zsh 4.2.5 in assignment to array variable tied to unset scalar.

Well, I don't "want" to do it.  It happened by accident.  I just think
that if one half of a tied pair is unset, the tie status on the
remaining variable should be removed.  And even if it should be an
error, there shouldn't be a segfault.
