Hi,

not sure if anyone has noticed but Red Hat has introduced a strange workaround into their zsh initscripts to workaround a corner case ZDOTDIR bug in zsh:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430665#c19
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430665#c25
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430665#c27

The comments above comment #19 are usual bickering about RH's zsh init scripts but it seems that those three comments illustrate that there's something fishy with ZDOTDIR when using "emulate".

Cheers!
