Subject: infinite loop in prompt expansion

Prompt truncation may enter in infinite loop within litteral escape
sequence :

% print -P %/
/home/lwa
% print -P '%{%80<..<%/%}'
/home/lwa
% print -P '%8<..<%/'
..me/lwa
% print -P '%{%8<..<%/%}'
(don't give the hand back and spend all CPU time)

Tested on zsh 3.1.9 and 4.0.6

GDB output :
