A stack traceback on export LANG (where LANG is unset)



I think zsh is choking on magic variables being exported but not
defined.  I normally have LANG undefined, but use
`LANG=<something-legal> program-to-test' frequently for testing.

$ zsh -c "export fred"
$ zsh -c "export LANG"
zsh: 32244 segmentation fault (core dumped)  zsh -c export LANG

Here's a better stack backtrace than the one I sent before.  (The
trace is on vanilla zsh-3.1.3, gdb Src/zsh; run -c "export LANG").

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Hope this helps.
