Maybe someone else can volunteer what zsh.old is, but as for the other
binaries, ls -li on my system shows:
72130 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 405308 Oct 3 08:01 zsh*
72130 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 405308 Oct 3 08:01 zsh-3.1.9*
72131 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 405308 Oct 3 08:01 zsh.old*
Both zsh and zsh-3.1.9 are on the same inode. Hard links as opposed to
symlinks, no extra space is being wasted.
