Hi!
I have just got zsh-2.6-beta10 succesfully compiled it under Solaris 2.3
and after playing a while I have noticed following feature:
when I do following steps:
1. su
2. su - user
3. zsh
then I can not edit the history.
As far as I could trace the problem it comes from the fact that
in step 2 Solaris does not change the owner of /dev/pts/? and as a result
in zsh the symbol TTY is empty and can not be set.
I am not sure if this should be fixed in zsh or in Solaris.
Jerzy

Yes, this is a known bug. It will be fixed in beta11. Beta11
should be available in a couple of weeks.
