Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/78

I am using ZSH.
The asciinema version is: asciinema 0.9.9-0eee9b2

Suppose my path is: /Users/John/.dotfiles/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin

After I start asciinema, the path turns into:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/Users/John/.dotfiles/bin:/usr/local/sbin

The change of order breaks many apps on my laptop.

asciinema doesn't mess $PATH in any way. You probably have some issue with your shell config files.
Try entering another zsh instance by typing zsh once you're in shell already. You will probably have the same result as with asciinema.

It turns out Yosemite's shipped zsh doesn't work properly. More precisely, the /etc/zshenv is broken.

That was my issue either, I would have never solved this, thank you!
