JFTR: That version is no more anywhere in Debian. Testing has 5.0.6-3.

Interestingly this only happens if zsh is used as root. It does not
happen if zsh is used as non-root user. Retitling accordingly.
I've found this behaviour in at least Squeeze, Wheezy and Testing/Sid.
Will test Experimental later today, too. If I find it there, too, I'll
forward it to upstream.
Regards, Axel
