Zsh 3.0.5 problem.

Zsh 3.0.5 problem.

[Stephen Marley]

I've recently upgraded from SunOS 4.1.3U1 and zsh 3.0.2 to Solaris 2.6
and zsh 3.0.5. However I've encountered a problem were occasionally the
xterm I'm working in just disappears.

I think zsh is exiting causing the xterm to exit too.

I can't replicate the problem as it seems to happen unpredictably when
I'm using zle. A message fleetingly appears but I never have time to read it.

Has anyone encounterd a similar problem? Does anyone know how I can
trap the message and read it before the xterm vanishes?

I had that problem for a while with one of the pre-releases, but it turned
out to be a problem with the way I'd merged a local patch into the new
version.  Are you running a completely unmodified 3.0.5?

Run something like this in place of your regular xterm:

    xterm -ls -e zsh -c "zsh -l ; sleep 10000"

Yup - straight out of the box.

I'll give it a whirl and post to the list when/if it happens again.
Thanks.
