zsh-4.1.1-2 still seems broken under Cygwin-1.5.7-1 .

Wed Feb 11 22:48:00 GMT 2004

My PC is running under Windows XP Professional, and until recently with 
Cygwin-1.5.5-1 and zsh-4.1.1-1 . I upgraded to Cygwin-1.5.6-1, installing 
everything available, in particular including zsh-4.1.1-2 . zsh behaved in 
a buggy fashion. I reported it; you kindly replied that similarly problems 
had been reported by others, and that Cygwin-1.5.7-1 should fix matters. I 
upgraded to that, and the behavior is improved, but still buggy: (1) 
sometimes when I start zsh it hangs, sometimes it starts normally; (2) zsh 
command-line editing generally badly messes up the display when long command 
lines are being edited. I seem to recall that problem (2) was a consistent 
nuisance a while back, but then some new Cygwin release (I don't remember 
which) fixed it. (I generally run zsh under screen, by the way.) 
The only reason I upgraded from Cygwin-1.5.5 was to have the most up-to-date 
release; it behaved without problem for me. Is there any way I can restore 
it? 
Thanks for your attention and reply.
