Why do you use grml-testing without using grml-stable as well? :)

Ah, pretty old box. :)

I can't reproduce the problem with zsh 4.3.6 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
and latest grml-etc-core.

Does it happen with 'zsh -f' as well?

Can you please try to downgrade to an older grml-etc-core version so
we can locate the problem easier?

If you have mercurial (hg) and Debian's build stuff available you
can build all the different versions on your own:

hg clone http://hg.grml.org/grml-etc-core
cd grml-etc-core
hg up $VERSION # where VERSION is just a tag in hg, just use the
               # grml-etc-core version you'd like to get
debuild -us -uc

If that's not an option for you let me know and we will provide
different debian packages for you.

@Frank: do you have any idea where this might come from?
