Just found out echotc behave differently on 3.0.[35] and 3.1.4:
$ echotc so | od -c 3.0.3, 3.0.5, 3.1.3
0000000 033 [ 7 m
0000004
$ echotc so | od -c 3.1.4
0000000 n o \n
0000003
Bug or feature?

I've had problems with AIX, here, but judging from your domain, that's
not the problem. If it's related... try searching for #ifndef
NCURSES_VERSION in Src/builtin.c, and changing it to #if 1. If that
fixes it, we'll have to be more careful in testing for ncurses.

The above change fixes the echotc problem. While doing this change, I
noticed a 'core' file in the root directory. It is from 'conftest'.
which is generated by 'configure'. Any trick to debug 'configure'?
I also got:
zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
when I tried the basic <TAB> on any directory. I guess this might be
related to the conftest failure.
Thanks..
BTW, environment info:
zsh: 3.1.4
OS: Digital UNIX 3.2c
Compiler: gcc -v

That's probably not a bug. One of the configure tests is whether
tgetent() accepts a NULL pointer as the buffer argument. The usual
behaviour if the answer is "no" is that one gets a segmentation fault
and conftest dumps core. We should probably clean up the core file.
