} May be, it is something different - but now completion tests do not hang
} anymore.

It looks like compdump failure causes compinit to abort completely when
ZDOTDIR points to a nonexistent location.  The redirection on line 34
prints "no such file or directory" and then everything stops.

We seem to be running into a lot of things that cause zsh to abort all
the way back to top level.  Do other shells give up so thoroughly in
these situations?
