As I pointed out to Greg in email, this is completely correct.  I
tested zsh on a number of different machines before posting (mostly
BSD/SunOS, since that's all I have access to), and listed these machines in
the README file.  But I completely forgot to include this information in the
introductory posting.  At least when I posted the patch, I included this
information at the top of the posting, as I should have done originally.  I
definitely should have mentioned clearly that zsh does not like Sys V (yet).
Apologies to anyone for whom this was a problem.

     If Princeton knew my opinions, they'd have expelled me long ago.
