What do you mean by "non-existant" command?

Some people were already describing similar things (including me). It
appears to me (running Windows XP) that things like "aeiou" don't hang
while "/bib/aeioiu" hang. I have to do "unsetopt correct correctall"
(both!) to make it go away. On my Gentoo Linux box (same hardware,
same .zshrc) I have no problems and not a single second delay.

If the problem is the same for you I might suggest debugging this with
strace (with all the "correct" options set and after that unset). I
have no experience with strace and just very limited time this week so
I cannot myself.
