Wrong emulation mode if exec'd by su



Hi!

I have a problem with zsh-3.1.4: If I su - to an account the zsh sees
"su" as executable name -- starting with 's' -- and thus switches to
Bourne shell emulation mode, not the behaviour desired by me. I have
solved this problem by testing the full executable names against "sh",
"csh" and "ksh" with strcmp and now it works as I expect it.

However, in the patch below I didn't take into account the case
starting with 'b', don't know what that should be, but besides this,
it should do.

Bye, Martin
