zsh should return an exit status 0 when unsetting a variable that was
not previously set.
greux:~> zsh-beta -f
greux% echo $ZSH_VERSION
4.1.0-dev-7
greux% unset blah && echo OK
greux%
It should have printed 'OK'.
See

"Unsetting a variable or function that was not previously set shall
not be considered an error and does not cause the shell to abort."
The following shells print 'OK' as expected:
* /bin/sh under Solaris
* /bin/sh under OSF1
* bash (under Linux)
