[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#644179: zsh: Subshell in midnight commander: precmd: 15: bad file descriptor

[Pavel Reznicek]

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.12-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

  after upgrading to zsh 4.3.12 (in debian), I am having problems running
midnight commander in zsh (going back to zsh version 4.3.10 it works fine).
The symptom is that when trying to use the subshell in mc, it complains about:

precmd: 15: bad file descriptor

and the mc session get hanged. It turned out to be a bug in zsh and the upstream
authors found a solution described here:

http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2011/msg00988.html
http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2011/msg00994.html

Would it be possible to include the two patches mentioned at that thread into
currect debian zsh 4.3.12 until new upstream zsh release gets out ?

Thanks,
Pavel
