So far I wasn't able to reproduce the error in a setup where I can
debug it yet. I've run the testsuite successfully about 70 times each
for the dynamically linked zsh as well as the statically linked zsh on
kfreebsd-amd64.

I'm now back to trying to reproduce it on that (linux amd64) machine
were I initially run into it a single time. With some luck, I may be
able to trigger it and then debug it.

		Kind regards, Axel
