A couple of issues on Ubuntu 22.04.

The first is a test failure:

./A04redirect.ztst: starting.

Test ./A04redirect.ztst failed: error output differs from expected as shown above for:
  $ZTST_testdir/../Src/zsh -fc 'exec >/nonexistent/nonexistent
  echo output'
Was testing: failed exec redir, no POSIX_BUILTINS
./A04redirect.ztst: test failed.

That doesn't seem unreasonable behaviour for system directories to me
--- a ./ prefix seems to fix it up.

The second is probably not system specific, but on this machine I was
using an old configure front-end that turned on --enable-zsh-mem and
some associated flags and that caused the resulting shell to hang.  I
haven't investigated as we don't really support that any more and I
don't suppose people are generally using it.  However, we probably at
the least ought to announce that it's deprecated --- I don't think we've
done that so far, despite fear, uncerainty and doubt on zsh-workers, as
there appears to be no sign in either INSTALL or the configure script.
I could suggest some changes for that.

cheers
