I saw that on the list but wasn't sure if this was the same symptom or not.

Ok, so 20050826 snapshot fixes the problem I mentioned above.  Thanks!
However, I still can't repro Samuel's problem.

Samuel,
   Would you mind saving and removing all of your .z* profiles (and the
ones in /etc) and trying your test one more time?  Run an strace with
--mask=all.  Also, try grabbing the 20050826 snapshot too.
Zsh has several automatic resolution mechanisms (aliases, functions,
auto-cd, etc), and I want to remove any custom environment settings that
might be kicking in.
   Let me know when the trace is available.
   Thanks!
