I was distracted by real life for a while and didn't notice you
committed that patch on the 4th of March, because the list remained
silent on it.

Meanwhile, just FYI: I just finally got around to trying Slackware Linux
14.2 and zsh (any version before 4th of March) has the same bug on that
system! On Slackware 14.1 and earlier, the bug does not happen. Your
patch fixes it on Slackware 14.2 as it does on Solaris. So it is not
Solaris-specific after all; perhaps it's an interaction with certain
versions of (g)libc.

Meanwhile I adapted my test script for this bug to the zsh test suite
(see attached patch).
