how to crash zsh 3.1.9 in one easy step

how to crash zsh 3.1.9 in one easy step

[E. Jay Berkenbilt]

zsh -f

host% function
function> /

segmentation fault

I haven't tested this with the latest development release (yet), but I
figured I'd report it since it's so trivial to reproduce.

This is with a vanilla 3.1.9.

I subscribe to zsh-users but not to zsh-workers.....

Well, you should report all bugs, even if not so easy to reproduce.
Perhaps they get fixed some day :-)

[well, I still have the problem that zsh sometimes dumps core on
completing, and I still can't see a way to really reproduce it
predictably. Strange error...]

Doesn't happen with vanilla 3.1.9-dev-6, so it seems to have been fixed
:-)
