etc/zprofile is being called twice causing CHERE_INVOKING to fail.

Hi! I set CHERE_INVOKING=1 in babun.bat similar to what we do for standard cygwin installation for starting the shell in current dir. It didn't work. I tried installing chere package too, but was unsuccessful to start Babun in current dir. On further hacking/debugging, I found that the issue may be due to /etc/zprofile being called twice (I observed that it was called twice when I added an echo statement to the file). It deletes the variable after running the first time, so on the second time, the variable won't be available and it does a cd to ${HOME}. I believe that if you can prevent /etc/zprofile from running twice on startup, it will resolve the issue.

An update: I started mintty without the trailing dash. That was able to resolve the issue, confirming my suspicion mentioned above. For some reason, the startup in login mode is causing the /etc/zprofile to execute twice.

/etc/zshrc executes after /etc/zprofile. You are sourcing 3 files from /etc/zshrc. Amongst them, babun.zsh is sourcing /etc/zprofile again. So, your execution flow is: /etc/zprofile -> /etc/zshrc -> /usr/local/etc/babun.zsh -> /etc/zprofile. I hope you can fix the same now.

Thanks for the thorough analysis!
Would you like to submit a pull request with a fix? I would merge it and include in the next release.

This still seems to be an issue. With babun 1.1.1 I got a following startup log

in /etc/zprofile
in /etc/zshrc
in /etc/zprofile
{ ~ }  »                                                                                        ~

So the execution is still /etc/zprofile -> /etc/zshrc -> /usr/local/etc/babun.zsh -> /etc/zprofile and the second /etc/zprofile unables chere / xhere to sucessfully pass the path.

Unfortunately - besides tracing that I have no idea how to approach the change (and the implications).

I was using

{ ~ }  » babun --version                                                                        ~
babun version 1.1.1

One more thing. This happens when I run babun from the shortcut C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:\Users\jmarchwicki\.babun\babun.bat"

However, if I click already open icon and run Terminal - I got the following errors (with source /etc/zprofile in /usr/local/etc/babun.zsh commented out).
With the original /usr/local/etc/babun.zsh I don't experience such problem (and also shell here doesn't work).

Having traced that (obviously by accident) I'm rather lost with what's going on but I hope smb will find it helpful (feels like tester ;>)
