Thx for telling me. I hope to see that one in the manual soon :)

This one is in the manual. the one with "-pcre-match" does _not_
match in the manual :)


Or it was described in such a way that I did not see it, thx for
telling me again.

As Bart is busy (I told him), there is a _serious_ - I guess so, but I am
not quite sure- bug in zsh that I found out today:

Its with the prompt variable %v.
I tried `print -P %-10v' and i got a segfault on all 4.x
versions, perhaps with 3.1.9, too ?  whether debian or not ,it
always crashes even without any .zshrc in the debian-stable whereever.
in #zsh i had the same reaction told, too.
.

My gdb on linux/intel tells me with the core-dump:

I will subscribe there soon. I find too many things to only pass that on :)
