Re: Help me track down a tough bug? (probably funcfiletrace, subshells and possibly I/O redirection)

OK, so it seems there's currently nothing for me to look at here.

You can already force a return from the enclosing function from trap '...'
DEBUG just by executing "return".  You can use return from within enclosing
functions to trigger this, e.g.

  fn() {
    return 3
  }
  trap 'fn || return $?' DEBUG

(if you need to return status 0, offset the status return value from fn by
1 and use 'fn || return $(( $? - 1 ))').  For example

  foo() {
    emulate -L zsh
    trap '[[ $ZSH_DEBUG_CMD == *bar* ]] && return 1' DEBUG
    echo foo
    echo bar
  }

when executed (with DEBUG_BEFORE_CMD assumed set by default) prints "foo"
but not "bar" and should return status 1 from foo.  However --- Surprise!
--- there's a bug and although it does return from foo the status gets
lost.  The fix is below.

Let us know either if this isn't working properly or you need something
more specific.
