I can't think what might have caused it other than something like a bug in the compiler or problem with your AIX installation. "David R.

It creates a number of shared libraries for different things, the idea being that only those which are actually being used are loaded. They are dynamically loaded at runtime when they are needed. If you install zsh with make install, it will install these into /usr/local/lib/zsh/3.1.6-dev-21 (assuming you didn't specify a different directory with configure). > Next, subshells seem to hang, when using ksh grammar.

The emulate command basically sets a number of options. If you try to isolate the option which causes the problem, it might make it easier to see where the bug is (if that's what it is). I've copied this to the mailing list so maybe someone else there has an idea. Oliver
