Probably not. I'll take a look at it and probably fix it for the next
2.1 beta release. (Since it's not a user-visible bug, I'm not going
to bother with it for 2.0.)
A simple workaround for your problem is to set the WGFILE environment
variable to something like /tmp/wg.$user.$$ in one of your login
dotfiles (where $$ is the pid of the shell in question). This is not
necessarily an answer for someone supporting zephyr for multiple
users, of course.
