} and this read() function is a part of what? zsh? glibc?

It's a system call (that's why it shows up in strace output).

As a workaround you can try changing

	    if (r == 1)
		break;

to

	    if (r > 0)
		break;

at line 407 of Src/Zle/zle_main.c; but if the wrong number of bytes may
be returned by read(), all sorts of other things are going to break (not
just in zsh), so you shouldn't leave it at that.  You may have to take
this up on a linux kernel list.
