Try replacing the call to "vlock -c" with a call to "stty -a" just to
find out what the tty settings are at the time vlock runs.

If for some reason the ZLE tty settings are not being reset properly
from inside a trap (which would be a bug, but could be happening), try
replacing "vlock -c" in the trap with

	STTY=sane vlock -c

or some such.  See the manual for an explanation of the STTY parameter.
