Newbie/aliases disappearing?

Newbie/aliases disappearing?

[Gossamer]

Having just swapped from Bash to Zsh (seduced by the programmable
completion, mostly!) I have RTFM'd enough to get things more-or-less
working.  This includes a bundle of aliases and shell functions to
do ... well, lots of stuff.

Trouble is, they seem to unset themselves!  I have them in ~/.zshrc
and straight after I log in everything is  fine, but after a while
when I go to use one of these aliases I get "zsh: command not found".

Logging out then back in again always fixes it ... for a while.

I haven't been able to figure out quite what makes this happen, but
I'll keep trying.

Oh, and the same thing doesn't  seem to happen with the shell
functions.

Try putting

	disable unalias disable

at the end of your .zshrc, and then while you use the shell, watch for
one of -those- to be reported as not found.
