The configure program choose to link with termcap. The result was that the bach-space key seemed to work internally, but not for the output: machine% vii[backspace][return] starts up vi, but instead of correcting 'vii' into 'vi', adds a space to 'vii': machine% vii [return] So, i read the ChangeLog entry about prefering curses above termcap on AIX-3.2.*, and i changed the LIBS in the ./Makefile from -ltermcap into -lcurses. After relinking, the new zsh appeared to work correctly, and had no problem with the backspace.
