Interesting.

$ ls -l /etc/zshrc
ls: /etc/zshrc: No such file or directory

Well I didn't delete it :-)  There's an /etc/zsh/zshrc with a bunch of
keybinding-looking commands that look like they bind home/end to Do The
Right Thing, but they either aren't being read or don't do what they
look like they do.

Odd.  Starting a blank zsh --login I'm presented with an "erdos% "
prompt (not even the current working directory! how primitive! :-P), and
the keys behave vi-ishly.  So somewhere the defaults have been screwed
up.  The files in /etc/zsh/* don't seem to mention any kind of default
vi or emacs mode either.

I just dpkg --purge'd zsh and reinstalled it, with no apparent change.
