I built this version of zsh using the spec file from the SRPM
for 3.0.5 on the RedHat contrib site, so no particularly odd
build options:

./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin --enable-etcdir=/etc/zsh 

Feel free to ask if you want more information on reproducing the
bug.  Hope this is of some use in tracking it down!
