zsh got stuck without any message because of history lock file



My zsh got stuck without any error message, because the ~/.zsh-history.LOCK file wasn't deleted after a system crash. This is a real problem if one uses zsh as default shell and therefore can't execute any command. Luckily i was able to open a bash terminal and used strace to determine why zsh doesn't respond. Please add an error message or prompt the user, if the lock should be deleted.

I'm using zsh "5.0.5 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)" on Arch Linux with Kernel 3.14.1-1-ARCH x86_64.
