I think even that's OK.  There were two distinct EOF's involved.  The
one I found from debugging was from a previous source:  it really did
reach EOF, so that was the correct behaviour.  The bug was this was 
being remembered, and later on a chain of events (flushing data when
there wasn't any causing a lexstop with no yylex active) caused
*another* EOF to be returned, this time incorrectly, from zleread().
The bug was the chain of events in between, not the EOF's.  (Or am I
missing the point?)

I suppose Paul had an aversion to typing.  Probably understandable
under the circumstances.  He was a vi user :-).
