When I type a few letters and then press the up arrow, it usually offers
previous history items which match the first letters I've typed.

That suddenly stopped working. Pressing the up arrow gave me previous
history items that did not match what I had typed.

Google suggested bindkeys or something which had mucked with the TTY
settings.

For me the answer was that the TERM setting in .zshenv didn't match the TERM
setting in iTerm (2).

When I set them to both be equal to each other, the up arrow started to work
again.

FYI in case someone else runs into the same issue.
