Hi, I'm using `read` in `zshexit` and when my terminal crashes (e.g. XTerm gets killed or ssh connection dies) Zsh spins in an endless loop until I kill it with SIGKILL (SIGTERM doesn't work). ```

test for IGNOREEOF was added to make zsh ignore ^Ds that were typed while commands are running. Unfortunately this caused trouble under at least one system (SunOS 4.1). Here shells that lost their xterm (e.g. if it was killed with -9) didn't fail to read from the terminal but instead happily continued to read EOFs, so that the above read returned with 0, and, with IGNOREEOF set, this caused an infinite loop. The simple way around this was to add the counter (icnt) so that this happens 20 times and than the shell gives up (yes, this is a bit dirty...). */ if ((zlereadflags & ZLRF_IGNOREEOF) && icnt++ < 20) continue; stopmsg = 1; zexit(1, ZEXIT_NORMAL); } ``` So, if `raw_getbyte` returns `0` `zexit` gets called again. I think this causes the loop. I didn't debug a hanging process. I've got the backtrace from a core dump. Regards Jörg -- Jeder macht, was er will – Keiner macht was er soll – Aber alle machen mit!
