Re: typeset -Z broken? -R broken too?

[Gabor <gabor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that -R is broken, too.

Here is output of ksh with -R
=== gabor $ typeset -R20 name;for name in *;do print "$name";done
                bin/
     sample-scripts/
           software/
               test/
=== gabor $ 

And here is zsh
=== gabor $ typeset -R20 name;for name in *;do print "$name";done
bin/
sample-scripts/
software/
test/
=== gabor $ 

Also, even with the fix here is zsh for -Z
=== gabor $ typeset -Z20 name;for name in *;do print "$name";done
bin/
sample-scripts/
software/
test/
=== gabor $ 

And here is ksh
=== gabor $ typeset -Z20 name;for name in *;do print "$name";done
                bin/
     sample-scripts/
           software/
               test/
=== gabor $ 

Here they are with 0 prefix for test dir
ksh
=== gabor $ typeset -Z20 name;for name in *;do print "$name";done
000000000000000test/
                bin/
     sample-scripts/
           software/
=== gabor $ 

zsh
=== gabor $ typeset -Z20 name;for name in *;do print "$name";done
000000000000000test/
bin/
sample-scripts/
software/
=== gabor $
