Howdy.
ofb:3% zsh --version 14:40 ofb:~
zsh 4.2.5 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
ofb:3% STRING=a:b 14:40 ofb:~
ofb:3% typeset -T STRING string 14:40 ofb:~
ofb:3% unset STRING 14:40 ofb:~
ofb:3% set -A string x y z 14:40 ofb:~
zsh: 18569 segmentation fault zsh
I'm told this also happens in 4.2.1.

I verified this on ubuntu linux and also OS X v. 10.4, 4.2.5 gives a seg
fault; 4.2.3 reports a bus error.
But why would you want to do this?

Well, I don't "want" to do it. It happened by accident. I just think
that if one half of a tied pair is unset, the tie status on the
remaining variable should be removed. And even if it should be an
error, there shouldn't be a segfault.
