Sounds a bit like the "endless spaces" refresh bug, which was fixed in one of the recent dev releases. (Funnily enough, I ran into that bug myself a few days after it was reported here, on an HP-UX system.) Anyway, basically you can't expect a zsh compiled for one OS to run on another. I wouldn't attempt to port a binary from 10.20 to 11: they're different in so many details that you really should have a separate binary. (At the place where I was using HP-UX, I had separate binaries for 10.10, 10.20 and 11. Plus Solaris 2.5 and 2.6 and AIX, but of course they *really* need separate binaries.) -zefram
