I've seen such behavior although I don't use zsh. If you are lucky, the |
| 29 |
problem is caused by an empty or broken TERMINFO database, a wrong |
| 30 |
setting of the TERM environment variable, or a crappy terminal emulator. |
| 31 |
I say lucky because these problems can be solved without hours of |
| 32 |
head-scratching and pouring over obscure, boring information. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If you are unlucky, it's a bug in your zsh, in which case, get ready for |
| 35 |
some fun times ahead :) |

Did you emerge -e system yet? It might be that, during bootstrap, zsh |
| 38 |
in your prefix didn't have an ncurses library to build against, or built |
| 39 |
against the system libncurses instead of the one in your prefix; if |
| 40 |
that's the problem, it will, with any luck, be fixed the second time around. |
