I have been fighting with the same zsh error message since yesterday
(I yesterday installed cygwin on my W2K laptop so my guess is I have
up to date and clean installation since this was my first cygwin 
install on that machine).
My solution to the zsh problem was to install ncurses 5.1 and then
build zsh by making it link against libncurses library intstead 
of libtermcap. To do this I changed the order in zsh configure script
- search for ncurses in that script and move ncurses to first position
in the list "termcap curses ncurses". Then run configure and build.
After this zsh 3.0.8 seems to run fine. I don't have any idea whether
this has anything to do with the domain issue you are talking about
but figured it can't hurt to mention this.
Regards,
Tomislav
