I can reproduce this bug on Solaris-2.6/sparc, SunOS 4.1.3_U1/sparc, and
NetBSD-1.3.2/i386.

I removed my .zshenv (no other zsh files) and went through my configuration
line-by-line (option-by-option) to determine which one was consistently
killing off my shell.  I found:

====

SunOS 5.6

But I couldn't accurately reproduce the bug with your list of setopts, just
"prompt_subst" (which you don't have listed).
