I can confirm that /bin/sh and /bin/zsh on my Mac OS X 10.0.3 install
are byte-for-byte identical.  It's version 3.0.8, btw.

(Aside: when I installed zsh 3.1.??? on OS X I had to compile statically.
I don't know the magic needed to get all the dynamic stuff working, but
maybe the Apple people (person?) who hangs about this list knows more.

Maybe even 4.0.1 works on Mac OS X, for all I know...)

Cheers,




Duncan.
