Aha. I use an older version for Solaris, too. I don't remember exactly 
which version it was (and I modified the version string to something
useless but easily detectable, init-file-wise), but it's either a
vanilla 3.1.9 or older.

And it shows the same behaviour.

And trying the same version on DU4.0 shows it, too.

That means that the bug is already fixed in the current CVS, but I
don't know when it was fixed.

I can't reproduce the tty problem, though.

Hm. Should we change that?

I don't know why I added that test anymore. Maybe I somehow had the
impression that hash does the same? Hm.

This indicates a pretty serious problem somewhere, as it would appear
that hash table entries from two entirely independent hash tables are
interfereing with each other.

Is this the same OSF1 system where you're having ttyctl problems?  I
would almost suspect some kind of memory alignment issue.

Yes, scary.

Hm, memory alignment? I'm on such a 64bit system, too, and I don't
have these problems.

Is that zsh a vanilla 3.1.9? Freshly compiled for Alpha?

Concerning the OSF1 version, it was compiled on October 6.

Concerning the Solaris version, I compiled it on July 12, and the
most recent files from the source have the date June 5.

Yes, but I can also reproduce the problem under Solaris:

$ echo $ZSH_VERSION
3.1.9
$ uname -a
SunOS vin 5.7 Generic_106541-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
$ zsh -f
vin% hash -d tex=blah
vin% echo ~tex
blah
vin% autoload -U compinit
vin% compinit
vin% echo ~tex
zsh: no such user or named directory: tex
vin%

The ttyctl problem can also be reproduced under Solaris.

I cannot reproduce either on ReliantUNIX with almost current CVS. I'm runing
under dtterm ... but hash problem hardly is releated to that :-)
