A grep through the current upstream code (HEAD, not 4.0.3) reveals
that the string "defzombie" occurs no more else than in doc/screen.1
and doc/screen.texinfo. Looks as if that command has been removed
upstream and they forgot to remove the according documentation.

As far as I can see, the "zombie" command is equivalent and still
works.

I'll check with upstream if the removal was intended or not and that
either the code or the documentation gets corrected.

                Regards, Axel
