Resolved: Sourcing .zshrc from .zprofile causes problems

[lists <lists@kalama.no-ip.org>]

I figured it out.  It was because I had

zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}

before

export  
LS_COLORS='di=36:fi=0:ln=35:pi=93:so=32:bd=34;46:cd=34;103:or=31:mi=0: 
ex=31'

in my .zshrc file.  Silly me.  I know this is a bit off topic, but is  
the 'export' necessary/correct in the LS_COLORS definition?

Thanks,
Ryan
