Might not be related, but it's hard to be sure --- if there is bad
memory around, the completion system has a good chance of being the part
that falls over it.  cap_get_proc() is a library call with no arguments,
but it does do allocation --- if you have zsh's own memory allocation
built in there might be some incompatbility.  It's not entirely clear
there's a real problem here, however.

That certainly looks like what's causing the crash, though it's
basically the same information as the backtrace.  I was vaguely hoping
valgrind might have some idea if the memory had already been freed, or
something like that.

Thanks for looking.
