My PC is running under Windows XP Professional, and until recently with
Cygwin-1.5.5-1 and zsh-4.1.1-1 . I upgraded to Cygwin-1.5.6-1, installing
everything available, in particular including zsh-4.1.1-2 . zsh behaved in
a buggy fashion. I reported it; you kindly replied that similarly problems
had been reported by others, and that Cygwin-1.5.7-1 should fix matters. I
upgraded to that, and the behavior is improved, but still buggy: (1)
sometimes when I start zsh it hangs, sometimes it starts normally; (2) zsh
command-line editing generally badly messes up the display when long command
lines are being edited. I seem to recall that problem (2) was a consistent
nuisance a while back, but then some new Cygwin release (I don't remember
which) fixed it. (I generally run zsh under screen, by the way.)
The only reason I upgraded from Cygwin-1.5.5 was to have the most up-to-date
release; it behaved without problem for me. Is there any way I can restore
it?
Thanks for your attention and reply.
