Hmm, at least with Bash 3.2 on OS X I don't seem to have the problems
that you have with bash. Anyway, I just hope that eventually
multibyte input/output in zsh will improve, because other than
multibyte support that works the way I would like it to zsh has just
about everything I could possibly ask for.
