Hi,
I've come across a segfault when shell history has been loaded from a
file and contains a command where a null byte was entered into the
line editor via ^V^@ (opposed to typing as $'\0'). Reverse
subscripting $historywords on a pattern that does not match triggers
the error.
I've reproduced the segfault on my local 5.9 installation as well as
in the zsh-users/zsh-docker images [1] for master, 5.4, and 4.3.11.
Here is my output. Note that I typed the ^@ by pressing ctrl+v
followed by ctrl+space.
```
% docker run --rm -it zshusers/zsh:master
06e7a43e26d3# HISTFILE=$(mktemp)
06e7a43e26d3# SAVEHIST=30
06e7a43e26d3# : ^@
06e7a43e26d3# fc -W
06e7a43e26d3# fc -R
06e7a43e26d3# echo $historywords[(r)nomatch*]
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) zsh -df
```
