I followed these steps as follows:

[[[
$ cd "$(mktemp -d)"
$ tee .zshrc
HISTFILE=${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history
HISTSIZE=2000
SAVEHIST=1000
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
zstyle ':completion:*' ignored-patterns ''
<pressed Ctrl+D>
$ yes | head -1001 > .zsh_history 
$ ZDOTDIR=$PWD $builddir/Src/zsh -d
% bindkey -e
% <pressed M-/>
]]]

The terminal beeped and no crash happened.
