If so, the bug is in external link, not in zsh.
What immediately comes to my mind is realpath(), because I've used it recently, it might not resolve external links to paths, and the command Ref. mentions realpath() only under zsh. The realpath() in the z⧸OS XL C⧸C++ Runtime Library Reference is not POSIX compliant by not accepting NULL as the *resolved_name. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
