Obviously we need to see what it's executing to get further.  The
information in the static points in input.c, inbuf and inbufptr, ought
to have been revealing.  Could there be .zwc files involved?

Strange things can happen if the file the shell is executing changes
under it, but the implication here is it started looking at the logout
file and immediately ran into problems, which sounds different.

I don't know exactly what the numbers mean, but they're probably
something like the number of times this was called.  This suggests to me
it's only got here once, so it's unlikely to be a key part of the
problem.
