Hi,

I've got rather similar problem with pty handling (zpty).
Last year I pached zsh to use "native" glibc calls (getpt(3) and so on)
and posted a patch to this list.  The patch was non-portabe, though.

What is the output of the following commands with zsh you've built?

zmodload zsh/zpty
zpty job1 date
zpty -r job1
