Actually, I don't think I'll need your termcap anymore. Your PS1 would 
be the most helpful thing you could provide right now.

What are you using to colorize your prompt? The issue you're having 
almost certainly stems from that. If your PS1 contains any escape 
sequences (which it does, to produce the colors: plenty!), but doesn't 
protect them with zsh's %{ and %}, then you're going to see problems 
like you're currently seeing.

Did you modify your PS1 by hand, or was there a tool to colorize it?

Run that env | grep |sed stuff I gave you before (but without the ":"), 
and we should be able to fix it for you.
