I'm trying to figure out what to do about the
zstrtol/strtol breakage. My first question is
on which platforms is this broken? I know about
Solaris and SunOS, but are there others? If it is
broken, then the command
echo {1..10}
will give
{1..10}
rather than
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
You should be using beta8 or beta9 to see this
(if you have a broken strtol).
If only Sun is showing this breakage, then I'll probably
write a configure test for this. If this is just me
misunderstanding the man page for strtol, then I'll
just put zstrtol back.

oops. A broken strtol will probably give you
1..10
not
{1..10}
I still find it hard to believe that this would be
broken on Sun for so long (I get the above result on
SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3, Solaris 2.3/2.4). I was beginning
to think it was just my misunderstanding of the strtol
function until I tried it on Irix 5.3 (which gives the
correct result).

I'm using beta8 on Solaris 2.3, and I get this:
sunbox - ~: echo {1..10}
. 0 1
Configure defined HAVE_STRTOL.
It also seems to refuse to run .zshlogin and .zshlogout, even when I run it
as '-zsh' or 'zsh -l' (I have to hack it from my .profile, as I can't set
it as my default shell without installing it on all our systems :) Usually,
it dumps core when invoked from .profile, thus:
echo "Let's use zsh instead"
exec /export/home/johny/bin/-zsh
