Strange behaviour of zsh-3.1.5 on IRIX 6.2

[Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I would appreciate very much if someone could say a word to the strange
behaviour of ZSH since version 3.1.3 (on IRIX 6.2)


I am running here 3.1.2 for a long time now and it's very stable (except
some minor buglets)

Now 3.1.5 does dump core anymore but I get

19 % ./zsh
/usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv: command not found: exportExportSetoptSetoptSetoptBindkeyExportExportExportExportExportExportFunction\M-##^CFunctionAliasFunctionFunctionFunctionIfPushdElsPopd [1]
/usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv: parse error near `else' [2]
/usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv: command not found: elsFi [3]
/usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv: parse error near `}' [4]
/usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv: parse error near `}' [5]
/usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv: unmatched ' [6]


but my init file /usr/LOCAL/etc/zshenv  is absolutely normal

look yourself (here the first few lines)

export PATH=/usr/LOCAL/bin:/usr/LOCAL/teTeX/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bsd:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:/usr/demos/bin
export FPATH=/usr/LOCAL/etc/Zsh_Functions

setopt  COMPLETE_IN_WORD MAGIC_EQUAL_SUBST PUSHD_SILENT EXTENDED_GLOB
bindkey '^X^E' vi-find-prev-char
export FCEDIT=nc
export PAGER=less
export MANPATH=/usr/share/catman:/usr/LOCAL/man:/usr/local/share/catman
export EDITOR=/usr/LOCAL/bin/nedit
export MAIL=/var/mail/$USER
export SGI_ABI=-n32
function namedir(){
  $1=$PWD ; : ~$1 }
#  arguments are as in prompt below
#  see xwsh man page    set    window title               icon title
function chpwd() { print -Pn '\2201.y%~\234'; print -Pn '\2203.y%C\234' }
alias ds="ls -xF"
function cds(){ cd $1; ls -xF }
function dst() { ls -txF $@ | head }


Thanks a lot for a hint,
Helmut.
