Problem with autoload.

[Kevin Sullivan <kevins@drkstr.lkg.dec.com>]

Hello, 

  I am having a problem with autoload and subsequently resolving the
functions. Here are the particulars.

(kevins@drkstr)(zsh:434)% echo $ZSH_VERSION 
3.1.2
(kevins@drkstr)(zsh:435)% uname -a
OSF1 drkstr.lkg.dec.com V4.0 375 alpha

When I try to resolve an autoload function zsh core dumps. Here is the
setup procedure:

FPATH=${HOME}/bin/functions
{whence replace && unalias replace} >& /dev/null
autoload replace

The function replace is a simple script to replace a symbolic link
with the referenced file. However, the script/function is irrelevant
it cores on any autoload(ed) name. I built zsh in debug so I could get
a relevant core file. 


(kevins@drkstr)(zsh:439)% ./zsh
(kevins@drkstr)(zsh:203)% autoload
undefined mere () { }
undefined replace () { }
(kevins@drkstr)(zsh:203)% replace symlink
zsh: 17792 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./zsh
(kevins@drkstr)(zsh:440)% gdb ./zsh core

I tried looking through the code somewhat but I am really unfamiliar
with it. I am hoping one of the zsh-workers can enlighten me to what I
am doing wrong. I am sure that I have not set up something quite right
but I am at a loss. I have read through all the information I can
find. I have been using zsh for many years. All of my functions and
scripts I have loaded into a large (getting very large) file I load in
at login time. I would like to break up that file and use autoload and
fpath can you help me out.
