[SOLVED] Zsh module `zsh/zftp` won't load.

I recently discovered that zsh includes a builtin FTP client (see man zshmodules). I tried to load it but it won't load.

% zmodload zsh/zftp
zsh: failed to load module `zsh/zftp': /usr/lib/zsh/5.8/zsh/zftp.so: undefined symbol: freehostent
% which zftp
zftp not found

I verified that the zsh/zftp.so object files exists. I tried using zsh-git from the AUR, but it had the same result. I also tried setting MODULE_PATH, but that didn't help either.

This seems to be an obscure feature, because I didn't find anything except the docs.

Zsh Docs, 22.31 The zsh/zftp Module

Zsh Docs, 25 Zftp Function System

zshmodules(1), THE ZSH/ZFTP MODULE

It works. Thanks
