zsh: failed to load module: zle

[Roland Jesse <jesse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using the zsh 3.1.6 port on a fresh FreeBSD 3.4R machine leaves me
with the impossibility to load the zle module.

The machine: 

% uname -a
FreeBSD  3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan  6 19:31:03 CET 2000     root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/ARTHUR  i386

The problem:

% zmodload zle
zsh: failed to load module: zle
% echo $module_path
/usr/local/lib/zsh/3.1.6
% pwd
/usr/local/lib/zsh/3.1.6
% file zle.so
zle.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), stripped
% zmodload -e
zsh
comp1
% zmodload -ab
ulimit (rlimits)
zle
sched
compctl
compadd (compctl)
compset (compctl)
limit (rlimits)
vared (zle)
compgen (compctl)
unlimit (rlimits)

Loading other modules works fine:
% zmodload example
The example module has now been set up.

I would appreciate any pointers on whether or not this might be a
specific problem with the FreeBSD port.

Thanks.
