bug in prompt?

Just did a pull & make:

... It seems to abort the binary and I'm back to the previous good one. 
Using a plain prompt didn't help. It's not getting as far as reading 
.zshrc. 'make check' = all fine.

Er, why are you attempting to read the zsh binary as a shell script?
That's what the "." command does.

Also I'm completely baffled what this has to do with the prompt.

Only that the first line that garbled seemed to be the printout of
the build number which I have attached to my prompt.  It's not the first 
time I haven't noticed that " . ./file " isn't " ./file ". As Lao Tzu 
said: "Before you can see, you must look". Pardon.

Too bad there wasn't some way of flagging that error:

"You are trying to source a binary, twit."
