} Nope, there's no such file after terminating the terminal emulator, so a
} missing SIGHUP is probably the problem.  Sending it to the ZSH process
} using kill -SIGHUP works.  Thanks for your help in clearing that up.

That still seems a little strange.  If zsh doesn't get HUP, then it
should get EOF and write the history at that point.  Something may
be killing it off (with a signal stronger than HUP) before it has a
chance to finish writing.
