} Ok, but I don't think this should preclude correct behavior. My
} understanding is that when <C-D> is pressed, the application gets a
} zero-length read on the terminal
If the TTY driver is interpreting the EOF character, then yes, that is
what happens. However, zsh supposedly doesn't allow the TTY driver to
interpret <C-d>; it puts the terminal in CBREAK mode, so it receives a
literal ASCII '\04' character, so that it's able to invoke the bindkey
for that, which normally runs delete-char-or-list.
The do-not-exit-when-jobs-are-pending behavior relies on having read a
'\04' when the input buffer is empty. It's a simulated end-of-file
rather than a real one.
What *appears* to be happening -- I could still be wrong -- is that on
the second C-d the CBREAK setting fails to work as expected and zsh in
fact gets a zero-length read. When ignoreeof is not set, this causes
the shell to exit.
The point being that although I agree this is not the correct behavior,
the reason for the failure is not what you may think, and therefore the
fix is likely to be in a more obscure part of the C code. Further, the
workaround in the meantime is to setopt ignoreeof.
