Has anyone managed to get zsh working on a Mac with 1.1?

The release notes say it should compile out of the box, which it does,
however...

There appear to be some display glitches, e.g. when scroll back through
history, although they only seem to happen when the prompt is more complex
than simply '#'.

I know there used to problems with termcap, but these went away when i
rebuilt userland recently.  For example, in my previous set-up I couldn't
^B to scroll back in the console.  This now works well.  I now use dt
anyway, which seems to have termcap all sorted - certainly man works
nicely, and so does tcsh.

The up and down keys don't work, even though the relevant command is bound
to "^[[A" and "^[[B" which is what I thought our arrows keys gave.
Presumably, I was wrong.  Tcsh works fine.

Has anybody had any more success than this?
