What version of zsh are we talking about?

Are you typing out that loop at a shell prompt, or is it in a script?  If
the latter, what else is in the script?  When you run the non-loop trial,
is everything the same except for the loop?

What happens if you run the loop version, and type control-D to send it an
EOF when it seems hung?

Something must be waiting for input.  I don't know exactly what, or whether
it might have something to do with file descriptor 3.
