Digging into the source from the link in your previous message, which
ideally I would not have had to do ...  it's this:

    typeset -U __zew_csw_found

This creates a new local with the same name as the global.  Why not
just apply the -U at the first declaration?  If for some reason you
don't want to do that, use

    typeset -gU __zew_csw_found

to apply the -U to the global parameter.
