Arsed?

} have no idea what can cause this.

The setting of icrnl shouldn't have any effect on output; the `i' is for
*input*, that is, translate input carriage returns to newlines.

Zsh plays some games with icrnl and inlcr so that type-ahead is handled
properly with respect to the key-bindings for ctrl-M and ctrl-J.  There
is a lengthy comment in zle_main.c to explain about this in detail.

That's not zsh's fault; the only thing zsh does with onlcr is to force
it to be *on*, unless the FreeBSD porters have changed something in
zle_main.c:zsetterm().
