Using \mutt does NOT stop the mutt function from being called.  It only
stops an *alias* for mutt from expanding, if you had one.  Zsh crashes
because the heap overflows allocating memory for the infinitely recursive
function that you've written.

You want:

    mutt () {
      print -Pn "\e]0; Mutt\a"
      command mutt
    }

This is question 3.16 in the FAQ, by the way.

If you compiled zsh yourself, check out the --enable-max-function-depth
flag that you can pass to the configure script.
