That seems logical, right? But here's the weird thing:

$ echo;ls -l ~/.zs*;echo

zsh: no matches found: /Users/luomat/.zs*


No .zsh* files at all… except that the unexpanded PROMPT keeps showing 
up.

$ cat /etc/zshenv
if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
	eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi


$  cat /etc/zshrc
# Correctly display UTF-8 with combining characters.
if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "Apple_Terminal" ]; then
	setopt combiningchars
fi

Here's another weird thing:

$ echo $ZDOTDIR
/Users/luomat/dotfiles/zsh

HOW IS THAT GETTING SET?!

It seems like there is some sort of phantom process hanging around 
keeping my .zsh* in memory.

Maybe I'll try rebooting

{Reboots}

OK, _now_ I am seeing an empty prompt and no ZDOTDIR set.


{moves ~/.zshenv back into place and Reboots again}

OK, now everything is working fine. No un-expanded prompt.

What… The… Heck?

Gremlins?
