This bug has been around for awhile. Someone (Peter?) sent a fix, but I
foolishly discarded it, assuming that fix would be incorporated in beta18.
Basically, the bug is that filenames for =() substitution are not unique. Eg:
: zsh-2.6-beta18/SunOS Wed 22 11:02; Src/zsh -f
spacely% echo $ZSH_VERSION
2.6-beta18
spacely% uname -a
SunOS spacely 4.1.3_U1 2 sun4m
spacely% echo =(ls /tmp) =(ls)
/tmp/zsha19197 /tmp/zshb19197
If one were to diff those (supposedly) two files, they would apparently be the
same, even though they should be different.
