Hi there,
I have the following problem with zsh-3.1.9-dev-6 on Debian GNU/Linux
for i386:
Sometimes, while trying to complete, zsh crashes and dumps core. In
fact, the problem has been there for quite a while now, perhaps it has
been there since the new completions system has been introduced - I
don't know. The problem is: I can't reproduce the bug. It just happens
to occur every once in a while.
Well, this is not the only problem: Sometimes, zsh forgets its
completion settings. I use this line in my .zshrc:
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _ignored _match _correct _approximate _prefix
Now, sometimes, for some strange reason, zsh forgets to complete on tab
and starts to _correct things right away: For example, I had a directory
"abcdef" and a directory "abx" and typed "cd abc<TAB>" which resulted in
"cd abx".
Why do I report both things in one mail? Because I guess there might be
a problem in that "function calls function calls function"-way of doing
things: perhaps there's some functions that use a global variable by
accident instead of a local one, resulting in ill side-effects or such?
I use Debian's zsh-package (the one in woody aka unstable), but the
problem also occurs with self-compiled zsh (so it doesn't seem to be
specific to Debian's compiled version anyways).
Well... here's a gdb backtrace of a zsh core dump:
