OK, so the issue the patch addresses may not be a regression in the
upcoming v1.7.9 we want to fix quickly,
I'm running ZSH 4.3.10 (Debian stable), and for me it is a regression.
It seems there is another bug elsewhere affecting more recent ZSH (I
don't have a recent ZSH version installed to test), but fixing the
regression for old ZSH is still worth it. I'm not even sur the issue
with recent ZSH is related.
At worse, my patch is not intrusive and can easily be reworked later.
