I've just built zile 2.3 from source and found it crashes on startup.
This bug is fixed in git, and will be in the next release. The cause is
that Zile doesn't check to see if the variable exists. In this case, it
doesn't: "skip-splash-screen" is now called "inhibit-splash-screen". You
can change that in your ~/.zile.
The patch is trivial if you'd like to apply it; simply change:
"ent->local" to "(ent && ent->local)" at lines 133 and 135 of variables.c.
