Ok, but I don't think this should preclude correct behavior. My
understanding is that when <C-D> is pressed, the application gets a
zero-length read on the terminal, but that a subsequent read will get
more keyboard input (or another zero-length read if <C-D> is pressed
again). So zsh should still be able to detect each press of <C-D>
reliably.

Hmm, mysterious. I should have also said in my message that I think
I've seen unexpected exits in other cases, but the one I posted is the
only one I could reproduce. It sounds like there is a subtle bug in
zsh.

Right, I should have explained that I gave a longer example to show that
1) exit and <C-D> act differently and 2) running two commands between
<C-D>s behaves as expected.
