Bug in zsh-3.0.2

[Andreas Haumer <andreas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have installed zsh-3.0.2 as replacement for /bin/sh (i.e. /bin/sh is a
symbolic link to zsh) and now I get a segmentation fault when executing 
the configure-script from the GNU fileutils-3.14 package. It crashes
at the end of the script, just before creating the result files:

Output of configure:
[...]
checking for gettext in libintl... no
checking whether catgets can be used... no
checking for msgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
checking for catalogs to be installed...  de es fr nl pl pt sl sv
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./configure --prefix=/usr


Here's the output of gdb after loading the core file:

(gdb) core /usr/src/fileutils-3.14/core
warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
Core was generated by `sh ./configure --prefix=/usr'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

2066		    *s++ = *pptr++;
2067		}
2068	    }
2069	    /* mark if last pattern component in path component or pattern */
2070	    if (*pptr == '/' || !*pptr)
2071		c->stat |= C_LAST;
2072	    *s++ = '\0';
2073	    c->str = dupstring(cstr);
2074	    return c;
2075	}
(gdb)

This segmentation fault does _not_ occur when I change the magic line
in the configure script from "#! /bin/sh" to "#! /bin/sh -f" !

This the output from the reporter-script:

Does anyone else have this problem? As the configure script is quite 
complicated, I didn't have the time to further investigate this bug.

If you need more information please tell me.
