Certainly.
Hmm, I see what triggers it now. The link expanded by tilde expansion
must be nonsensical (i.e., the error only occurs if the file pointed
to by the symlink does not exist). Sorry I hadn't noticed that before
(I rm'd the file pointed to by ~men/xemacs, but he didn't remove the
symlink).
Here's an example like you asked:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
charney$ \rm -rf junk
charney$ mkdir junk
charney$ cd junk
charney$ ~/bin/sparc/zsh-2.6h10.2 -f
charney% echo $ZSH_VERSION
2.6-beta10-hzoli10.2
charney% setopt correctall
charney% pwd
/tmp/mdb/junk
charney% ln -s /tmp/mdb/junk/foo ~/junk
charney% echo ~mdb
/cray2/mdb
charney% ls -al ~mdb/junk
zsh: Does ~mdb/junk mean /cray2/mdb/junk [nyae]? n
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mdb climate 17 Oct 3 09:54 /cray2/mdb/junk -> /tmp/mdb/junk/foo
charney% touch foo
charney% ls -al ~mdb/junk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mdb climate 17 Oct 3 09:54 /cray2/mdb/junk -> /tmp/mdb/junk/foo
charney% \x04
charney$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice that after the link was made to point to something that existed
the correction quirk did not happen. So maybe it's more a case of a
confusing "error message" than a real bug.
Thanks for looking into it.
