} In createparamtable() (copy environment loop):

Where'd those '\232' characters come from? Please don't let any of those
creep into the actual source code ...
} The reason is, if we have duplicated environment entries, last one
} wins and call to setsparam() will try to modify environment in the

This is probably OK. Take a look at this (ignore zsh vs. tcsh hostname
confusion):
zagzig[267] tcsh
[schaefer@candle]$ setenv FOO FOO
[schaefer@candle]$ echo $FOO
FOO
[schaefer@candle]$ setenv FOO=BAR BAZ
[schaefer@candle]$ echo $FOO
FOO
[schaefer@candle]$ printenv | grep FOO
FOO=FOO
FOO=BAR=BAZ
[schaefer@candle]$ zsh -f
zagzig% echo $ZSH_VERSION $FOO
3.0.8 FOO
zagzig% printenv | grep FOO
FOO=FOO
zagzig%
[schaefer@candle]$ zsh-3.1.9-dev-3 -f
zagzig% echo $ZSH_VERSION $FOO
3.1.9-dev-3 BAR=BAZ <-- Last appears to win but
zagzig% printenv | grep FOO
FOO=FOO <-- does not match environ!
zagzig%
[schaefer@candle]$ bash
[schaefer@zagzig current]$ echo $FOO
BAR=BAZ
[schaefer@zagzig current]$ printenv | grep FOO
FOO=BAR=BAZ
So we have zsh-3.0.8 where the first one wins consistently, and bash
where the last one wins consistently, and zsh-3.1.9-dev-3 which does
not behave consistently at all.
} At this point the only exported parameters are the ones resulted from
} importing environment so it should be safe.
This all depends on your definition of "safe" ...
