Ah right. Sorry 'bout that :-)

I'd say it's better than nothing, but yes, it is a bit too verbose if
the problem affects too many functions. A separate function would be
good; then it could output stuff like:
/usr/local/share/zsh/3.1.9-dev-3/functions/X contains functions not
owned by you or by root; the first such function is _x_arguments.
Continue anyway [ny]?
I'd also suggest replacing 'continue' with something which makes it
more obvious what the two choices are. At the moment if you're
invoking compinit from .zshrc, it sounds a bit like you want to exit
the shell if you hit 'n'.
