For what it's worth, I am running Emacs 22.3.1 on OS X 10.6.3 and I am
having (and have had under previous OS versions) similar problems to
Daniels's.

In the Emacs shell, my .zshrc and .zshenv customizations (my login
shell is /bin/zsh) are not recognized, even if I explicitly $ source ~/
zsh* the files.

My workaround is to use either Terminal.app or an X windows terminal,
but I agree that it would be much better if Emacs recognized my
default shell, and its customizations.
