With the 5.0.7 upload, again one of the Debian builds (so far, two
still outstanding) hung for more than 150 minutes, this time in
A01grammar.ztst:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=zsh&arch=mipsel&ver=5.0.7-1&stamp=1412817576

Relevant lines:

I assume it's too far away (in terms of output size) from A05 to have
(not) buffer flushing causing the output being incomplete.

HTH.

I think that was the right decision. Sorry for not being able to
report sooner this time, but I was quite busy the past few days.

(I'd obviously be happy if someone finds that one, but I have even no
idea where to start looking.)

		Kind regards, Axel
