} Sorry, I lied about the bash version. While I do have that rpm

} (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
I just upgraded the OS on one of the machines at work, so I was able to set
my shell to:
GNU bash, version 2.03.8(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)
Then I put "exec /bin/zsh" in both .bashrc and .bash_profile (because for
some reason, although the doc says that "all interactive shells" will read
the ~/.bashrc file, login shells do not).
I still wasn't able to reproduce the problem.
However, it's bad form to have a potentially infinite loop in the shell
startup. Zsh should probably just give up after either some number of
loops or some length of time. Anyone have a suggestion?
