Hi Y'All
I upgraded to latest version a few days ago. All seemed fine. But without me being aware of changing
my setup; suddenly when I launch a new shell, the screen fills with a list of the prototypes of all
my functions/scripts (but no apparent error message). All seems however fine except that the
absolutely essential tab completion no longer functions (tab apparently ignored)
Also I've noticed that I don't need to reload changed scripts?
Where start looky?
$ zsh --version
zsh 4.2.6 (i686-pc-cygwin)

Start the shell with the -x option and look at the output. If you have
a working and a non-working version compare the two.

PWS
It's solved if I comment out
compinit -i

The -i flag tell compinit to check for files or directories that might
be writable by a malicious third party, and to ignore them. It also
warns you about which files/directories it is ignoring.
So apparently when your latest version was installed, permissions or
file ownership on the completion directories in $fpath were left in an
insecure state.

That doesn't quite make sense. Are you running the shell with -x or -v?
