The problem is that zsh will "freeze" somewhat, but
not entirely, predictably.

Here's the tail of an strace.

rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, ~[], ~[HUP KILL STOP], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[HUP KILL STOP], ~[KILL STOP], 8) = 0
wait4(-1, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 1], WNOHANG|WUNTRACED, NULL) = 6889
times({tms_utime=2, tms_stime=5, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=2}) = 29486218
gettimeofday({992173535, 236994}, {360, 0}) = 0
ioctl(10, 0x40245410, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(10, 0x4004541e, [6889])           = 0
ioctl(10, 0x8004541d, [6887])           = 0
ioctl(10, 0x5413, {ws_row=24, ws_col=80, ws_xpixel=484, ws_ypixel=316}) = 0
wait4(-1, 0x7ff01050, WNOHANG|WUNTRACED, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
rt_sigreturn(0xa)                       = 0
pause(

make check will not get through A01grammar.ztst.  More
specifically, it freezes at the "emulate -R zsh"
in ztst.zsh.

When sourcing someone's .zshrc, it freezes at
[ "`id -u`" -eq "0" ]
or at
eval `dircolors -b`

Any ideas?

Other shells don't seem to suffer from this.
