No, I am using %m:
RPROMPT=$'%{\e[1;31m%}[%m]%{\e[0m%}' # prompt for right side of screen
(the escape sequences are for colouring the prompt).
BTW, of course the command hostname works fine. My prompts also worked fine
in zsh-3.1.9.
Debugging zsh is quite hard for me, because of the hash table stuff inside,
so I didn't get any clues in this way.
Any more ideas?
