I know.  It's my British dry humour.

Of course, I should have done that in the first place.  It appears
that it's not the options, but something I have in my .zshrc file to
set the titlebar of xterms.  It's something I don't like all that much
anyway (it's annoying when I'm using the scrollbar and every five
seconds zsh thwarts me because I have whatever xterm option it is
(scrollttyoutput?) set).

Here's the offending fragment:

if [[ "$TERM" = xterm || "$TERM" = aixterm ]]
then
        typeset -l titlebartime
	set-titlebar() {
		titlebartime=$(print -Pn "%D{%r}")
		print -Pn "\E]0;%~@%m   $titlebartime, %D{%A %d %B %Y}\C-g"
        }
	trap set-titlebar ALRM
	TMOUT=5
fi

I get the bug with zsh -f, and after typing in the above.  It's a bit
intermittent, but not difficult to reproduce.
