zsh 3.0.4 core dump when HISTSIZE exceeded

With the following options set:
autocd
cdablevars
noclobber
ignoreeof
listtypes
(In addition to the default settings of
interactive
monitor
norcs
shinstdin
zle
for zsh -f)
`zsh -f` will dump core in malloc() shortly after exceeding HISTSIZE
commands. The stack is completely trashed at this point; even running
inside gdb I was unable to get a backtrace beyond malloc().
I'm not sure exactly which of those options is pertinent; I know only
that I was unable to get `zsh -f` to crash without first setting them,
and that it crashed rapidly after setting HISTSIZE=5 with those options
in effect. I set those options by copying the $- value of another user
here who has repeatedly encountered this crash (he typically gets it
upon executing his 101st command with HISTSIZE=100; this most recent
time, he mailed me the output of `set`, from which I grabbed $-).
SAVEHIST is not set. I tend to suspect ignoreeof, but I'm not sure why.
