I've slowly (too slowly!) been working with Bart Schaefer since around
November to determine the nature of a loop that occurs if you turn on
history files. It appears that (for example) a disconnect (hangup) causes
zsh to loop in a manner where it consumes all available memory, severely
impacting other users, until it presumably finally aborts. Putting a
TRAPHUP () { exit 1 }
works around the problem but I need to try a patch Bart sent me as well.
Is this the sort of almost-endless loop you wanted to know about?
