This sounds more like a kernel problem to me than a zsh bug. I get the
same behavior on my Ubuntu 7.04 (beta) system, in _bash_.
I note that getrlimit(2) says:
In 2.6.x kernels before 2.6.17, a RLIMIT_CPU limit of 0 is wrongly
treated as "no limit" (like RLIM_INFINITY). Since kernel 2.6.17, set‐
ting a limit of 0 does have an effect, but is actually treated as a
limit of 1 second.
However, I'm running 2.6.20(-14-generic), and still experiencing that
symptom.
