The problem has been fixed upstream. See the following thread: http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2008/msg00479.html Wayne Davison wrote a simpler patch, which was included in zsh on 2008-05-04, after version 4.3.6. It works in practice and I've also just re-checked the code. AFAIK, this patch hasn't been backported to Debian's package (I didn't see a HIST_FCNTL_LOCK option in the package version 4.3.6-7). So, the Debian bug should remain open. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
