Package: zsh-beta
Version: 4.3.0-dev-1+20050815-1
Severity: minor

I recently installed zsh-beta to be able to use the new UTF-8 support
(thanks!) and noticed an oddity I've never seen before. Sometimes, when
I ssh into my machine (with zsh-beta as the shell, with the 8-bit option
on), and it takes a bit of time, I manage to type parts of the next
command before I get the shell. In some of these cases, zsh seems to
echo back the command (white on black as usual) followed by an inverted
(ie. black on white) hash mark, then gives me the prompt and the full
command (as it should).

A picture speaks a thousand words:

Note that I was writing “true” after the password, while it was still
logging in. This is not reproducible all of the time, but I can usually
do it on three or four attempts.
