I reported this first but John's method of replicating the problem 
doesn't work for me.

BTW. Since changing my invocation method to sleep after zsh terminates,
I still don't have time to read the message.

Perhaps, the problem is with the XFree86 xterm-53 I use rather than
the zsh.

The xterm disappears in spite of the sleep?

That could be it.  Try this:

    xterm -e zsh -c "tty ; sleep 10000" &

This should give you an xterm showing the name of its tty device.  Assume
for purposes of this example that it's /dev/ttyp2.  Now run this:

    zsh -l < /dev/ttyp2 >& /dev/ttyp2

That may break a few things (such as "less") because /dev/tty might still
be the terminal from which you run "zsh -l", but everything else should be
OK.  Now you can try to get zsh to exit, and the error message ought to
show up in one terminal or the other.

"sleep 10000" is about 2 hours 45 minutes; you might need a bigger number.

Bart,

I ported zsh 3.0.5 to OpenNT 2.0.

Apparently configure did not find signal.h and set 
zsh_cv_path_signal_h=/dev/null.

A rebuild fixed my problem.

Thanks for the reply.

Regards,

John

It would help to know which operating system you're using (e.g. output of
`uname -a`) and to have the output of `source zsh-3.0.5/Util/reporter`.

zsh 3.0.5 unexpectedly terminating

[John Patoskie]

I recently saw a post concerning zsh 3.0.5 unexpectedly
terminating.

I am also seeing this.

To reproduce:

# cat ~/.zshrc | more

 < Hit "q" for quit >

zsh terminates

If you type:

# more ~/.profile

 < Hit "q" > 

everything works fine.

I am running a "clean" install of zsh 3.0.5.  I have not
applied any patches.

Regards,

John
