No need to risk doing something that might be flaky, I'm just rebuilding 
as needed. So far there hasn't been a hint of a problem beyond needing 
to retrieve some 64 bit libraries.  So I'm pumped that zsh will rebuild 
with similar results.

Ah ... it's the stock files in /etc/zsh, I renamed the directory and 
everything is as I expect. It's one of my perpetual mini-rants  to hate 
the way most linux programs hide bits of themselves all over the place.  
Actually I deleted  all those  on my main  machine for fear of them 
doing funny things on Tuesday, but it's time I took a look at them again 
and put them work, maybe, now that I have some clue what I'm doing.  
Thanks Bart.
