Hmmm... bindkey'ing the appropriate commands to ^[OA fixes that, then.  I
am still unsure as to why zsh couldn't get this from termcap.  I wonder if
it using termcap, or if my termcap lib is up-to-date...

I still have the display glitches though.  Could you a) ftp your binary to
me or b) put it up for ftp ???
