If you added a "-l" option, that would turn on xterm's logging feature

	xterm -l -e zsh -f

which could be interesting.  But the bug report deals with programs
run from xterm, which the shell wouldn't see -- unless it's reading
xterm's output in some way.

What does "bindkey -e" have to do with exec-formatted?
