zsh bug-hang on startup after exec

[Ryan Richter <bobort@abacus.dorm.reed.edu>]

I had been using bash as my login shell, and had it set up to exec zsh.  I just
upgraded zsh from 3.1.6 to 3.1.9, and when I log in, zsh hangs immediately
after being execed, before it even processes the startup scripts.  This does
not happen if bash just runs zsh instead of execing it, and it no longer
happens now that zsh is my login shell.  Also it does not happen if I run bash
interactively and exec zsh.

Fortunately(?) the hanging behavior persisted when I had bash do:
exec strace zsh 2>strace.out
Here are the results:

These last 10 lines (between getpgrp() and getting SIGTTIN) repeat ad
infinitum.  SYS_174 and SYS_175 are rt_sigaction and rt_sigprocmask
respectively (dunno why strace doesn't know that...).

Anyway, this is a linux 2.2.19 i686 system with glibc 2.1.3, and zsh was
compiled with egcs 1.1.2.

And thanks for the cool shell :)
