Hi I think that something happened to zsystem / flock, as the following returns the above error under Cygwin: $ zsystem flock -t 0 -f FD -e /home/SG/.zsh_nr1 zsystem:34: flock: invalid timeout value: '0' Timeout of value 0 is an acceptable one - it means no waiting for the lock, just try-to-lock and exit. -- Sebastian Gniazdowski IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#zinit Blog: http://zdharma.org
