} Immediately after starting and then every $PERIOD seconds.

} Here's my current .zshrc:
}

} periodic () { . $HOME/.zlogout }
} 
} Here's my .zlogout:

} echo "In .zprofile 1"

} You see the lines it had before commented out. It turns out that ANY
} command in the file triggers _one_ alloc_stackp message.

Turns out that "source" or "." inside any shell function will trigger
that BUG warning, which isn't really a bug at all -- it's doshfunc()
calling loop() recursively, so the allocation stack depth reflects the
depth of recursion.

zagzig<3> echo echo foo > foo
zagzig<4> blat() { . foo }
zagzig<5> blat
foo
BUG: alloc_stackp != 0 in loop()
zagzig<6>

The for(;;) in loop() continues before reaching the DPUTS() call on any
blank or commented line, which is why I didn't see it when I first tried
to reproduce it, and which is why you see it once for each command.

Try this patch.
