I use zsh on a DEC 3000 300X under OSF/1 3.2, decterm; zsh beta12.
My left and right prompt are invisible.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Soter

We have been trying to change sys_errlist from `const char *const[]'
back to `char *[]', or, better yet, get people to stop using it
entirely. Towards the latter, it would be nice if zsh's utils.c
would use strerror() rather than sys_errlist, with a `backup'
implementation that uses sys_errlist[argument] for systems that
lack strerror (perhaps even providing this backup in the form of
a strerror() implementation).
I will leave the exact details up to you -- you have some existing
HAVE_* macros, and I would recommend adding HAVE_STRERROR here,
unless you would prefer to simply provide an auxiliary `strerror.c'
source file, using it only on those systems that lack strerror().

Well, here's the simplest possibility (which requires re-running
autoconf).
I don't quite understand what's going on if HAVE_SYS_ERRLIST isn't
defined. It's behaving as if there's one being supplied, but I don't
know where it's coming from.
