Re: Repost: Can't run zsh: get fatal: out of memory error

[a normal guy <ee_in_co@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for replying.  I am still unable to get zsh to load in the
normal way.  I am building zsh myself.  I read in the bug report
document to try the zsh -f command and then eliminate things out
of the .zsh* files until it works.  I couldn't find any info in
the man page about zsh -f, but the bug report document said it
basically runs only through the /etc/zshenv file.

When I first ran zsh -f without any /etc/zshenv file, it worked
without any customization.  I first eliminated .zshrc, then
.zshenv without the -f and it still didn't work.  I then copied
my .zshenv to /etc/zshenv and used -f; it worked.  Then I copied
.zshrc to /etc/zshenv, using -f it worked again.  I concatenated
.zshenv and .zshrc to /etc/zshenv, and using -f, it worked.

This was all still under version 3.1.5.  So I rebuilt it using the
zsh-mem feature.  All the previous tests repeated exactly the same
as before (I didn't use this feature the first time).

Now I have updated to 3.1.6 and tried again.  Still it is working
only with the -f option.

I have two HP workstations, one is the aforementioned HP 735 Apollo,
the other is a Visualize C240.  Both 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 are working
fine on the Visualize, only the Apollo 735 is having problems.

Any other ideas?  Should I submit a bug report?

Yes

I used the enable-dynamic and redirected the prefix to /opt/zsh

No, as far as I can tell

I have now, and it shows no other files being executed.

It still performs the same.
