Having not gotten an answer to the query I set off to figure it out
myself. I have a plain pws-6 version. Perhaps I should try Bart's 8151
but in any event let me tell you what I found out.
During the config process I enabled: --enable-zsh-mem
--enable-zsh-secure-free --enable-zsh-mem-warning --enable-zsh-debug
and --enable-zsh-mem-debug.
When I fired up zsh and attempted:
my_prompt_here> rpm -q My<TAB>
I got this error/warning message: 'BUG: attempt to free already free
storage'
So I fired up gdb put a break at mem.c:977 and mem.c:1054 but for some
reason I was unable to get it to repeat under gdb.. Well I ran out of
time and was happy with simply enabling --enable-zsh-mem and
--enable-zsh-secure-free. I wanted to get a stack trace when I got
to the DPUTS warning message, but...
I believe the error message I was seeing was coming from 977 but I
have not verified this.
Thanks, in any event I will try the 8151 patch...
