Well, my zsh (2.2.0) exhibits neither of these quirks.  It does, however,
have a very irritating problem.

If I su root (or any user, for that matter), and then change directories
and try to edit a file using emacs, emacs DOESN'T FIND THE FILE!  If I do
a pwd, it tells me that my default directory is where I think I am, but
emacs tries to open the file in the directory I was in when I "su'd"!
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Everything works fine if I use vi, however.

Has anybody seen (and hopefully solved) this one?

Thanks.
