Which zsh sources did you compile?

Thanks for reporting, but:
- bug_4 looks like a shell command history and won't produce
equivalent results outside your local host.  Furthermore, it contains
a "reboot" command, as well as a "sudo" and a couple "vim", so I would
not recommend anyone attempt sourcing it.
- bug_7 is not in the attached zip
- bug_17 is a binary file?  Is it really intended to be directed to
the shell input?
- memory that leaks only at shell exit (doesn't grow or leak
repeatedly during shell execution) has not typically been considered a
bug.

We do not typically allocate CVEs unless an identified security issue
has been found.
