zsh 3.1.5 su problem

zsh 3.1.5 su problem

[SADA Kenji]

Hello.

I heared that zsh-3.1.5 failures su function because
it emulates `sh' by first letter `s' of `su'.

How about a patch below.

Thanks !

This has now been fixed by handling su specially at startup, so that the
shell's name is changed to that given by $SHELL.

Yes, but I think you use the word ``fixed'' loosely.
