I'm not, on Linux, but I've only been using pre6 since a few minutes ago. Did you compile with debugging and zsh_mem and so forth? To what previous version are you comparing it (so we know what changes to re-examine)? The only recent change that would have any conceivable effect on this is that all references to the variable `columns' in display update code have been replaced by the ternary expression `(columns < 1 ? 80 : columns)'. But your compiler would have to be doing something really awful for that to have any noticable effect. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.nbn.com/people/lantern New male in /home/schaefer: >N 2 Justin William Schaefer Sat May 11 03:43 53/4040 "Happy Birthday"
