Yes. Or your vendor provided a buggy system.
Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Are you using NIS or something, so that you need libnss_compat? If not,
I'd change s/compat/files/g in the values in /etc/nsswitch.conf and
remove the _compat entries. One less library probed in every binary
doing any kind of name resolution, one less thing to go wrong.
If you're getting an abort() call inside free() then free() has been
passed a bad memory location, so if this is happening inside setpwent()
then something's very wrong down there. Perhaps you've removed
nsswitch.conf or you've removed some of its contents. Perhaps there's a
major platform bug.
But this is almost certainly not a zsh issue.
