Hey,

sorry for the vague subject. I've been trying to narrow this down to a
shorter test case but was unsuccessful.

zsh 4.3.11 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) on Ubuntu 11.10 (Ubuntu's stock
package)

The attached script zsh-bug1.sh has serious issues ranging from zsh
segfaulting to it simply hanging. Different outcomes (segfault vs
hanging) can be achieved with small modifications. It should run
everywhere (it doesn't rely on a certain directory structure being
present). I've run it with "zsh -f zsh-bug1.sh", and it hangs directly
after outputting "looping" (it should simply exist afterwards,
obviously).

If I run its "proper" version (zsh-bug2.sh), e.g. replcae
"/doesnotexistdamnit" with the actual directory name, then it actually
segfaults:

Note that it happens whether I run as root or as a normal user.
