Small problem with CDPATH processing in 3.1.0

I noticed a problem with CDPATH in zsh 3.0.1, and have verified that it is
still a problem in zsh 3.1.0 that I just fetched from ftp.ips.oz.au.
If you are in directory "/a" and "/a/b" exists and CDPATH=".:/foo" then
"cd b" works and does not print the new path. If "/foo/c" exists then
"cd c" works and prints the new path "/foo/c".
If CDPATH=":/foo" this should work the same, but it does not. Instead,
"cd b" "/a/b" to be printed. Following is a suggested patch to zsh 3.1.0
to fix this. It should apply to earlier versions also.
By the way, CDPATH="/foo" also works, but will not be well received by
/bin/sh (at least under Solaris). It seems foolish for zsh to differ in this
way from /bin/sh and it caused me a little trouble with failing shell scripts
before I tracked it down.
Please note that I have not joined the list, so if you want me to see any
replies, you will have to mail me directly.
