After some modifications to the arch AUR package zsh-git I know have the 
current master running. Let's see if problems go away.
Is master generally stable atm?

Nope, not that I'm aware of. This morning I opened the laptop which had 
been asleep since Friday, and on of the terminals immediately crashed 
when I interacted with history.
On my desktop I've had crashes too, but that machine never sleeps so not 
directly related to sleep at least.


Will report back if zsh-git works better, thanks for your prompt response!
