Module zsh/zftp: undefined symbol zsh_getipnodebyname

[Peter Whaite]

I saw something about zftp go by so my apologies if this has already been
covered.   When I attempt to use the zftp builtin it fails and causes the
shell to exit.

This is because it doesn't load the tcp module, which is new and still
being debugged, and we haven't thought of a way of telling the shell about
dependencies for modules that aren't loaded automatically.

I'd highly recommend using zftp via the shell function front end; autoload
and run zfinit and preferably read the zshzftpsys manual page.  If you have
the latest version of that, loading of the tcp module is handled.
