Yes, I think you nailed it here; my Emacs is compiled natively for 
Win32, and I guess zsh must be compiled with cygwin (I don't remember). 
 And what you describe above sounds like it could be the cause -- I've 
traced it quite thoroughly in emacs and it's definitely NOT sending a 
CR, only LF.  So it must be zsh/cygwin that's adding the CR.  Maybe I 
can add an option to zsh to strip off trailing CRs -- can anyone point 
me to where to start looking?  input.c maybe?
