Hi,
I have a weird problem with zsh since some while:
Sometimes when starting (it seems it always happens after a fresh
boot), I don't get any prompt from zsh.
When I attach strace to the process, it seems to be spinning on these
lines:
symlink("/pid-1600/host-ginny", "/home/florian/.zsh_history.LOCK") = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
lstat("/home/florian/.zsh_history.LOCK", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=19, ...}) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [WINCH], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {0x474b10, [], SA_RESTORER|SA_INTERRUPT, 0x7fd243ce2df0}, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [WINCH], NULL, 8) = 0
nanosleep({1, 0}, 0x7fffa6830380) = 0
When I delete the lockfile, it starts up normally. After waiting some
while it does as well sometimes. Then the problem goes away, and some
weeks later magically appears again.
I also tried doing `setopt HIST_FCNTL_LOCK` in ~/.zshrc but that
didn't help.
I'm using zsh 5.0.5 under Archlinux.
Any ideas on what's going wrong there? If there's anything else useful
I can provide, please let me know!
Florian
