The only problem with the init scripts was this: /etc/rcS.d/S45mountnfs.sh:29: options: attempt to set slice of associative array The offending line is: while read device mountpt fstype options Everything else was fine including several configure scripts until I tried to configure, of all things, zsh: ./configure:10594: functions: attempt to set slice of associative array We perhaps ought to rethink the status of any special variables in sh emulation mode. Especially those which are autoloaded out of places like zsh/parameter. Any ideas on how to solve this?
