I just noticed something.  My big array has ten named elements but if I 
print it:

printf  "%-20s %s\n" ${(kv)main} > /dev/pts/2

width               90
window            main
offset               0
topE                 1
active              1
90                    main
bottomE           48
lastE                196
hight                48
196                  48
List                  1
0                     1
list                  List
1                     48
currentE          1

... it all works, however 'elements' 90, 196, 0 and 1 seem to have 
created themselves, I didn't make them.  They seem to be ghosts who's 
names are other element's values, eg: '90' is the value proper value of 
'width' and that element holds the value 'main' which is the proper 
value of 'window' and so on.  It doesn't seem to break anything, however 
it's a bit strange when you print it out.  Something unintended in the 
printf?
