That sounds reasonable to me.

I had one skill, Bart, to produce deadlocks. And now you've taken that
away from me! On a more serious note, I have not been able to produce
any deadlocks after 36084! I also did not get around to test with
--enable-zsh-mem since it is working just fine. I also tested building
zsh without debugging, no problems there either.

Thanks for sticking through with this, and good job on finding
(hopefully) all the edge cases :)!
