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.
