No idea. I repeat - crash is inside of tgetent; tgetent itself gets valid parameters. What happens thereafter is outside of zsh control. O.K., one more possibility - clash between memory allocation routines used in Zsh and your version of termcap. What are zsh compile options? Do you compile with --enable-zsh-mem? What is termcap 1.3 - does it come with SunOS? Try to recompile with standard OS libraries and see if it helps. -andrej
