I guess this is just another instance of stack overflow caused by infinite
shell recursion. I reported a similar issue few months ago:
http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2017/msg00623.html
I am aware of two solutions:
1. reduce stack usage (compiler flags, move some data from stack to heap)
2. recompile zsh with --enable-max-function-depth set to some lower value
(the default is 1000)

Almost certainly, yes.

It's frustrating it's hard to do more than this. Some vague ideas were
floating around but it's right down at the OS interface which doesn't
give us quite the right sort of information for doing something about
this.
Of course, reducing the default recursion limit is possible but I have
no real feel for what the right compromise is, particularly as it can
affect different architectures / configurations in completely different
ways.
