Signal-handling problem



Okay, so I *LOVE*  zsh, but I seem to have a small problem.  For some reason, it
doesn't know how to handle signals.  For example, if I type:

dave(4):[~]% kill -l
ZERR

it only shows "ZERR".  If I do the same thing in bash, I get:

dave(173):[~]% kill -l
 1) SIGHUP       2) SIGINT       3) SIGQUIT      4) SIGILL
 5) SIGTRAP      6) SIGABRT      7) SIGEMT       8) SIGFPE
 9) SIGKILL     10) SIGBUS      11) SIGSEGV     12) SIGSYS
13) SIGPIPE     14) SIGALRM     15) SIGTERM     16) SIGUSR1
17) SIGUSR2     18) SIGCHLD     19) SIGPWR      20) SIGWINCH
21) SIGURG      22) SIGIO       23) SIGSTOP     24) SIGTSTP
25) SIGCONT     26) SIGTTIN     27) SIGTTOU     28) SIGVTALRM
29) SIGPROF     30) SIGXCPU     31) SIGXFSZ

All signals seem to kill my zsh and dump a core.  Here's some gdb output from
one of them (caused by trying to suspend a job with CTRL-Z):

Any ideas how I can fix this?  (I compiled 'out-of-the-box', with no changes to
the configure script.)  I really hope it's possible, because I *really* like
this shell!  My platform is an SGI Onyx2 running IRIX 6.4...

TIA,
