Ok, thanks for the clarification.
I'm mostly annoyed by such behaviour upon remote logins via SSH as
usually the whole terminal history gets lost in such cases.

Does SSH use /bin/login by default? (IIRC not.)
So if it's really just for the Linux (or FreeBSD or Hurd :-) virtual
console, I'm fine with it. There it indeed makes sense. Just not for
SSH logins or calling "zsh" or "zsh -l" for testing purposes from
another zsh instance (as I do very often before zsh uploads :-).

Ok, thanks for that clarification, too. :-)
