Oh-my-zsh does not work when used with bash on Ubuntu on Windows

[WesleyKlop]

So I installed the new Windows 10 insider build to check out Bash on windows and I immediately felt the need to change to zsh and install oh-my zsh.

But when I start zsh or source ~/.zshrc I get this output:

root@localhost:~# su -l wesley
compaudit:105: wait failed: invalid argument
compdef:95: wait failed: invalid argument
_update_zsh_update:1: wait failed: invalid argument
/home/wesley/.oh-my-zsh/oh-my-zsh.sh:3: wait failed: invalid argument

Disabling auto update gives me even more issues:

root@localhost:~# su -l wesley
compaudit:105: wait failed: invalid argument
compdef:95: wait failed: invalid argument
git_compare_version:3: wait failed: invalid argument

After some digging it seems to be more related to zsh itself than oh-my-zsh so I think this can be closed

Ok, thanks. I'll dig around anyway, I'm just now installing the newest build.

BTW, Microsoft has enabled a github repo to report issues, you can find it at https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows.
